Khaled Obaid: A state of chaos and confusion

The former director of Al-Nasr team, Khaled Obaid, confirmed that the national teams committee is responsible for selecting the coach, and the current state of chaos and confusion, and said: “I learned that the selection of the coach was done through players' agents, without knowledge of the coach or his style, and any business agent who wants to display what he owns. In a positive way, but the selection was not made on sound grounds and good knowledge of the coach.

He continued: Choosing a coach is a completely different matter, even in Europe and other countries, national gatherings are not for a long time as we have, as the player comes to train for a short period and then competes for his national team match, unlike ours, where gatherings last 10 or 15 days.

He added: “As for Pinto, we did not have any idea about his training method. We only knew that he had reached the World Cup, and he had never trained in the Gulf. In the next, a coach who knew my role at that time was dispensed with, and a world coach was called up as they say, and now "We are looking for a local coach who knows my role. This means confusion. It is the responsibility of the head of the national teams, Youssef Hussein, as he has to deal with this situation, because we are in a very difficult period, and we are heading to important matches."

He continued: “There is no Olympic national team or junior and youth teams, and we do not forget that the national team has passed three special committees for the teams in the last year: the first was in the previous association, then came the temporary committee, and now the current union, and each of them came with a personal thought and not studied when "He is coming, there is no general strategy for the national teams."

He added: «Who chose the national team?

What are the goals to be signed with the coach two years?

And now you say that the coach is not fit for the team, there was a big pause due to (Corona), you could have settled down and know what you want, and the criticism is now all directed at the teams committee, because its president, Yusuf Hussein, was himself criticizing when he found an analyst at Abu Dhabi Sports Channel Criticism is natural, there must be a vision, and why are there no gatherings of national teams even without links, especially the junior, youth, Olympic and first-person teams, is a strategy that must be worked on. ”

He added: The big and confusing problem is how to fire coaches without playing a single official match.

Suhail: I hope there is a higher supervisory authority

The former supervisor of the national team, Hassan Suhail, called for the existence of a supreme supervisory body for the Football Association, whose responsibility is to implement the strategic plans that are developed by the specialists.

He said: "We have been living in a state of confusion in football for some time, so why is there no supreme oversight body for the Football Association, whose goal is to implement strategies."

He added: “I was hoping that coach Marvik would not be dismissed, but that was done, and a coach was appointed in the temporary committee, and then a new coach in the current federation. We devised a long-term plan to build a strong team that includes replacement and substitution, but it came after us who finished that and made a new plan from the point of view. His personal view, knowing that the plan that was developed before was studied and by specialists, and not according to a personal opinion, so why not be a supervisory body such as the Commission or the like that follows up on the implementation of what has been agreed upon, even if it was not developed by the committee Current ».

He continued, "At the moment, we need a coach who knows the players well to save what can be saved."
