Shehzad to attend football course in Brazil
KARACHI: Pakistan’s License A coach Shehzad Anwer will attend the football coaching course which will run from May 23 to 27 in Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Shehzad, who belongs to Sargodha, has been sponsored by the Brazilian embassy in Pakistan.
The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) president Faisal Saleh Hayat has also extended his gratitude to the Brazilian amabassador to Pakistan Alfredo Leoni during a meeting with him in Lahore on Friday. Former Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Parreira will also deliver a lecture during the five-day training course which will be attended by the head coaches from 27 nations of the world.
“Everyone who knows little bit about football will have the desire to visit Brazil and meet its footballers. It was a dream come true, and I am very happy with the move,” Shehzad Anwar, who acted as a head coach of Pakistan during a friendly game against Malaysia in 2008, told ‘The News’ on Friday.
“I have got the visa and will leave for Brazil on May 20,” he said.
Shehzad has been associated with the coaching department of Pakistan for the last few years. After delivering his services at junior level, he has been working with the national team since 2008. Shehzad also served as assistant to the Austrian coach George Kottan during the 2009 Prime Minister Cup in Nepal, AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers in Sri Lanka, SAFF Championship in Dhaka and the friendly tours to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Thailand and Qatar. He has also acted as instructor during the futsal course in Malaysia last year and AFC License B course in Lahore also last year.
After giving some rest, Shehzad has again been inserted into the support staff of the national team which will start its preparation for the Palestine tour and World Cup 2014 qualifiers on May 6 at the Punjab Stadium in Lahore.
Lets hope Shehzad Anwar takes this professionally & return with something good for Team Pakistan.
