Who is Akhtar Mohiuddin?

Akhtar Mohiuddin, is the head coach of Pakistan national football team. He took over the charge of national team in 2007. Mohiuddin is also coach of PMC Athletico, having previously been coach of Afghan FC.

Akhtar has had a lot of poor managerial records especially with the teams like managing Pakistan, when his side did not even go beyond the group stages after losing all three games. Sooner than later he was replaced by another manager when the president of PFF remarked his managerial career as 'the worst manager in the history of football' and 'disgraceful' which led to a big controversy between the two. This also led Akhtar to leave the country and now he is managing Afghan FC.

Mohiuddin was part of a coaching committee under Tariq Lutfi during the victorious 3 match series against India in 2005. When Salman Sharida took charge in 2005, Mohiuddin worked as his assistant.

When Sharida quit in 2007, Mohiuddin was given the manager’s role over the short term until a foreign coach could be found. He had to face Asian champions Iraq in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers. Losing the first leg 7-0, the team was able to keep the Iraqi’s at bay in the second leg in a nil-nil draw.
