Order and calm was restored at the national football camp after Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president Kazi Salahuddin settled a peace-deal between the coach and the eight rebel players yesterday.
After returning home from abroad, the BFF boss met with the players, fuming coach Edson Silva Dido and the members of the national team management committee (NTMC) at his office to solve the crisis.
The camp will resume today after two days break along with the players who had walked out on the camp last Thursday at BKSP terming Dido's training as 'unbearable' which forced the Brazilian taking a hard stand against the players.
Dido was not ready to take back these players to the camp but he changed his heart after a half an hour meeting with the BFF's charismatic leader.
"It is enough to say that we found a solution together. I came here to submit my resignation letter but after a discussion with the president (Salahuddin) what I felt is that I should honour him because there was logic in his words," said Dido.
"There was a misunderstanding but now all problem is solved. The players made a mistake and coach accepted it. The camp will be resumed tomorrow and I hope this kind of incident will not happen in the future as I believe the players learn from their mistake. They have been given enough warning," said Salahuddin.
"I had an open discussion with everybody and I am satisfied with the way it is solved. But one thing is that nobody is bigger than the head coach no matter how big a player he is. I was a player as well as a coach and I know, the coach is boss and everybody in the team must comply with his decision," said the yesteryear star footballer.
"On the other hand no coach in the world wants to lose his best players
The BFF officials believed that these eight players would work hard to regain the confidence of the coach.
The players shook hands with the coach after the meeting and repeatedly apologised for their actions.
The BFF however stuck to the national team management committee decision which fined the eight rebel players (one month salary) for violating the discipline in the camp and also warned coach Edson Silva Dido for his reaction towards these players.
