I can coach Pakistan – Ali Nawaz

The former striker claims that if given the opportunity, he can turn around the fortunes of the National Team within one year and secure top spot amongst the South Asian sides.

“Yes, if I were given the opportunity to coach the national team, I am confident that the team would start clicking internationally within a year. I have been hearing that Pakistan have not been scoring goals in international competitions and I know where the ailment lies. I have the competence to put the team on the winning track if assigned the task with the sort of support which the authorities are extending to the foreign coach.”

“It is the responsibility of a coach to improve the finishing of the players. The nation wants a win and nothing else. There should be swift progress as other countries have made a lot of development in the field and it would be very difficult for Pakistan to compete with their rivals in future.”

“Pakistan’s first target should be to emerge as a leading side in the South Asia and then Asia should be their next goal. And it will be only through a solid policy that the country will be able to achieve that objective.”

“I always say that there is a lot of young talent in the country but it needs to be properly polished and I can do that job effectively as I am qualified for that task and have the credentials too.”

“Only a few hours of practice daily will not realise our dreams. The boys need proper attention and every area will have to be given proper time to make the unit ready for any international assignment.”

“A coach needs to work on building stamina of the boys when he is given a certain time to build the side. From the development of stamina up to working on skill and system, a coach needs to give great attention. A coach’s job is to develop every aspect of the team and he should not say that the team lost because of the missed chances as it is his responsibility to prepare certain players who could convert maximum chances.”

“If a coach cannot improve finishing of the players it means he does not have the ability to raise a better side. I always say that youngsters are our future. If we start working on them properly we could make progress but it needs sincerity and dedication on the part of the coach,” Ali Nawaz said.
