Mamic vows to turn Saif’s fortune
Newly appointed Croatian coach Drago Mamic vowed to keep Saif SC in the title race of Bangladesh Premier League till the last moment as the former Abahani coach wasb given charge of the club following the sacking of Maldivian coach Mohammad Nizam.
“Saif SC formed a champion team and we will try our best to deliver the league title till the last moment,” Mamic told reporters yesterday as the club introduced him at a press conference at the club headquarters in Mohakhali.
“My first job is to change the motto of the game, not the system. It is very important to change the motto of thinking about the championship,” said the coach.
The 65-year-old had earlier guided Abahani to the professional league title in the 2017-18 season in his second spell after having parted ways with the club in the latter part of previous season.
“I know that Saif have six or seven national team players. Abahani, too, had the same number of national team players when I worked with them. Maybe this club is not in good condition but we have to improve step by step,” said Mamic, who believes some teams are playing better football than two years ago.
“It was a big surprise for me as I was following Bangladesh football regularly. I was monitoring the results of last league. I saw that many teams are playing better football than two years ago. This is a good sign for football in this area,” added the UEFA Pro-licence holder.
