Raffo takes charge of Muktijoddha

Italian coach Flavio Raffo arrived here yesterday to take charge of Muktijoddha Sangsad KC for the upcoming football season. The UEFA Pro (part completed) coach expressed his enthusiasm about guiding the All Reds to success.
"I am glad to be here and even though I don't have much knowledge of Bangladesh football, I think with good coaching we can take the game here higher. Insha'Allah I will be able to do something good with Muktijoddha Sangsad," said the Italian over phone when contacted yesterday.
The 41-year-old coach, who played as a midfielder for clubs in Serie B and Serie C during the 90s and early 2000s, hung up his boots in 2006 before concentrating on coaching. Prior to coming to Bangladesh, Raffo managed clubs such as Ivory Coast's Premier Division side Africa Sport D'Abidjan and Oman's Premier League outfit Al Ittihad.
Muktijoddha parted ways with their former coach Shafiqul Islam Manik at the end of last season after three years.
