DHAKA,July 7,2020 (BSS) – Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) extended the contract of the English head coach of national team Jamie Day for two years from mid of August 2020 to mid of August 2022.

Jamie’s term ended last May, but the federation took a more than one-month-break to renew his tenure for the third time.

Jamie replaced English-Australian coach Andrew Ord to become the 21st foreign coach. The national team played a total of 19 international matches while the U-23 team played 11 under his coaching.

National side won 8, drew 2 and conceded 9 defeats while U-23 won 3, drew 2 and conceded 6 defeats.

About Jamie’s coaching, forward Mahbubur Rahman Sufil through a video message today said, “Jamie’ lessons about practice are always helpful for us. He understands us, he knows what will work for us. I would like to thank him for this. We also can understand him. Jamie has given us everything we need.”

“Jamie always stays in touch with us. We have a WhatsApp group, he gives directions there. We know , he does these for our improvement, we also want to get back on the pitch, he added.

The combination of foreign and local coaches are really good. Our Bangladeshi coach Kaysar vai had been doing well with us. He explains Jamie’s plans and directions to us, he mainly works on our fitness. Kaysar vai also stays in touch with us, I think Jamie-Kaysar vai combination is really good for us,” Sufil concluded.
