Bangladesh football coach Nikola Ilievski leaves for Macedonia tonight for a one-month vacation, which is thought to be his final departure from Bangladesh.
Sources inside the Bangladesh Football Federation informed that Ilievski has already resigned from his position of head coach following mutual understanding between him and the BFF as the football's governing body has lost its interest on the Macedonian following Bangladesh's poor performance in the SAFF Championship.
The National Team Management Committee (NTMC) however has called for a press conference today to clarify their stance on Ilievski who was installed as coach in June 2011 for a one year agreement.
It was been learnt that BFF has already cleared the December salary of Ilievski, who had initially received a three-month salary in advance upon his arrival in June 2011.
Ilievski was blamed by the players for their failure in the regional football showpiece where Bangladesh were eliminated from the group stage after losing to Nepal and Maldives and drawing against Pakistan.
The 57-year coach also came under fire from the BFF high-ups and was seeking a one-month vacation beyond his contract as he has already enjoyed one month vacation in August.
Ilievski is the fourth coach in four years under the current NTMC which oversaw all four of them leave without completing their tenure.
