List of Bangladesh national football team managers

The following is a list of Bangladesh national football team managers, first established in 1972 with the appointment of Sheikh Shaheb Ali.[1]

## Summary[edit]

After the Independence of Bangladesh, a de facto national team coached by Sheikh Shaheb Ali, called Dhaka XI, was active from May 1972 to August 1972.[2][3] In 1973, the Bangladesh Football Federation became affiliated with the Asian Football Confederation. In July 1973, the official Bangladesh national football team, coached by Shaheb Ali, participated in the Merdeka Tournament.[4] In 1978, German coach, Werner Bickelhaupt was appointed for the 1978 Asian Games, making him the national team's first foreign coach.[5] Anwar Hossain is the first and only coach to date who helped Bangladesh qualify for the AFC Asian Cup in 1980, while Abdur Rahim is the first and only coach to have managed the team in the main tournament.[6]

Following his initial appointment for the 1975 Merdeka Tournament, Abdur Rahim holds a record of seven individual appointments, with his last coming for the 1990 Asian Games.[7] German coach Otto Pfister holds the record of winning Bangladesh its first international trophy, the 4-nation Tiger Trophy held in Myanmar.[8] Bangladesh won its first South Asian Games gold medal under Iraqi coach Samir Shaker in 1999[9] and secured its first SAFF Championship title under Austrian coach György Kottán in 2003.[10] English coach Jamie Day, who coached Bangladesh from May 2018 to September 2021, holds the record for managing the most games (29) and securing the most victories (9) for the team.[11]
