BFF seeks expert help

Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is looking forward to have an expert technical director in a bid to modernise its operations.
BFF president Kazi Salahuddin, who returned to Dhaka yesterday after attending the introductory meeting of Asian Football Confederation's internal audit committee, informed that he has sought technical support from Asia's football governing body to enhance the federation's office management.
"The meeting was short as it was just an introductory one. But when I met AFC general secretary Dato Paul Mony, I asked for two favours. I wanted him to find us a foreign technical director for our office management. I have also requested him to arrange a training programme for our staff,” told Salahuddin.
"The AFC general secretary has ensured us that he will train five of our staff in August at the AFC House. He has not guaranteed about the technical director but
said he has one Richard Benz in mind from England and if the man is available, he will soon contact me."
Salahuddin added that his quest for foreign coaches will continue and Paul Mony has suggested that if the BFF appoints the technical director, he would be the right person to guide the BFF in this regard.
"I had also assured AFC president Mohamed Bin Hammam during my last visit to Kuala Lumpur that I would provide my plans to the AFC soon. I have kept my promise and submitted our programmes for 2008 and 2009 to the AFC chief," the former Bangladesh striker added.
Salahuddin has always believed in modernisation of the federation, which needs full professional approach, and he will soon start appointing new staff in management.
In reply to a question, the BFF president said that he has yet to get the report of the probe committee for failure of the national team in the fifth SAFF Championship but hoped it would soon land in his table.
However, the three-member
committee, which could not sit in the last few days due to the absence of its head and BFF member Harunur Rashid, the former federation general secretary who just returned from abroad, may take further one week to complete its findings.
"We have already asked for time till July 15 but the BFF has requested us to prepare it by July 10. We will try to meet the federation's demand," told Anwarul Hoque Helal one of three members of the committee.
The committee will interview national team manager Sheikh Mohammed Aslam and other members of the team management and captain Aminul Haque today.
"We wanted to start with the team management but the team leader and coach are now not in Dhaka. So we will talk with the persons available now," BFF member and ex-general secretary Helal added.
BFF member Sirajul Islam Bachchu, who was previously a vice-president, is the other member of the committee, which has already received reports from team leader Shafiquzzaman, coach Abu Yusuf and the manager.
