Nas Bashir, 41 years old, has been appointed the new manager of Hayes and Yeading United, a west London side which gained promotion from the Blue Square Bet Premier division.
He is the only UEFA Pro License coach with Pakistani roots worldwide. With Rehan Mirza we have another good coach based in the UK. He currently holds the UEFA B License.
Prior his new appointment Bashir was Academy coach at Reading FC based at Bisham Abbey in Buckinghamshire.
In a small statement Bashir is proud about his new job:
“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity. It’s a great chance for me to build upon my reputation and be part of developing a club that has a very exciting future.”
The young coach has coaching experience with Wycombe and England Under-21s and U-19s.
A statement on the club website read: “As one of the brightest young coaches in the national game, the club hope Bashir’s appointment sends out a message of intention to the football world that Hayes and Yeading United Football Club continue to build and work towards their goal of becoming a Football League club.”
We at FootballPakistan.Com want to congratulate him on his new appointment and we wish to see him help football in Pakistan develop.
Why does PFF dont hire him as our national team coach.. i think he will bring a lot of flare and brilliance in the team…if hes an UEFA approved coach,, thats what we need under such circumstances..when we can not afford a very highly paid coach,, he should be our best option…
Dear Rehan ,
There are many reasons that PFF does not want to hire foreign coaches or Pakistani coaches from abroad,,,PFF personnel want to take all the money from FIFA and Pakistan Government in their Pocket, there are many persons in the Federation that never played soccer in their life and they are holding good positions in the Federation … PFF pay just Rs500 per day to the National players and around $100-150 per International Match and that is not enough if we compare to other foreigners players ….PFF can afford Foreign Coaches if they want to …I have seen many Pakistani International players sent abroad for Coaches courses C & B even through that they do not speak and Understand English …i do not how this players are selected for the coaches courses …..I love football and football is my passion..i have played for Pakistan National Team but and I am still playing in club level but I left the National Team just because of the coaches and Managers ….every coach selects his own players from his department ….Now most of the players are from KRL and you know better why???…..Pakistani coaches are not very sincere with the team and they never selected players on merit they only select players from departments and they never focused on club levels players …i am really disappointed from PFF ….there is no career for Good footballers in Pakistan if you want to ruin your future then play for PFF…. last year i went to Spain to player soccer and really it was very nice experience for me because there is professionalism in their game ,the coaches are very cooperative and sincere with the Team …… i am also against the Premier league in Pakistan , the clubs should be cities names like Islamabad F. C, Karachi F.C , Lahore F.C etc and department should sponsor this club rather than making their own team and participate in the league like in Western countries leagues…no one want to join Department team because they pay you just Rs.12000 to 30000 a month and that is not enough for players to survive and take care of their families…….well this is a long story and i have experience a lot of things in the Pakistan Football Federation …..but still i am willinng to Promote soccer in Pakistan for the upcoming youth so that their future could be saved ….Inshallah
Dear Baloch
Thankyou for your informative message. I would like to say that football in Pakistan is still evolving, so there is no doubt that you will have a small proportion of people in top positions who are not fully equiped in understanding football. That said, there are also other Nations who also suffer the same problem, however, some of these Nations are successful on the bigger stage. Football does stem from the development of football within the community. This is where I believe football development belongs in Pakistan presently where there has been some good success stories with a few of the academies. Again, it is early days in Pakistan still with football development, but I am sure very shortly that things will change especially with the likes of more qualified and experienced Pakistani/British Pakistani coaches being developed. Insha’allah, I am sure football in Pakistan will flourish soon enough.
Congratulations on getting the job. Hopefully he can able to make Hayes & Yeading United a better club and can take the club to league 2 at the end of the season, which will be a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy huge achievement for him and also for the club.
