Kurdistan Football Association (KFF) secretary Salam Hussein announced last week the appointment of a new coach for the Kurdistan national team, which will participate in the VIVA World Cup in Malta in mid July.
«After several suggestions, the KFF coaching staff decided to appoint Abdullah Mahmud as the Kurdistan football team manager for the VIVA World Cup," said Hussein, remarking on Mahmud's great training experience in Kurdistan and Iraq in general.
Mahmud trained several football clubs including Erbil FC and Brusk FC. He is currently the manger of Kirkuk FC, a team that held the top of this season's Kurdistan league.
"We trust Mahmud's capability and plans in summoning the players and achieving good results in the Cup. We will have a meeting with Mahmud on January 30 to discuss player selection and training plans," stated Hussein. Mahmud will have absolute power in making decisions, and KFF will fully support him in his new career, noted Hussein.
The VIVA World Cup, held every two years, is organized by the New Federation Board, an umbrella association for nations unaffiliated with FIFA.
