German coach Bernd Storck has become the frontrunner to take charge of the Bangladesh national football team, surpassing Brazil’s Rosario Mikel and former Wales coach Chris Coleman. The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) is leaning toward Storck due to his lower salary demand and extensive coaching experience. Storck, 63, has previously coached Hungary to the Euro 2016 knockout stage and managed Kazakhstan’s national team for nearly two years, along with club stints in Belgium and Slovakia.
BFF’s National Teams Committee interviewed Storck last Tuesday, discussing salary and benefits. While Mikel and Coleman demanded $30,000 and $26,000 respectively, Storck’s expected pay is closer to that of outgoing coach Javier Cabrera. The federation is expected to announce the new coach by Friday. BFF President Tabith Awal will make the final decision, which may depend on whether government financial support is secured to afford a higher-profile coach.
The coaching position became vacant after Cabrera’s contract expired in April. A record 300 local and foreign coaches applied, later narrowed down to six finalists based on experience, salary expectations, and professional licenses.
