BFF said that the coaches arrived Dhaka on Monday. Bangladesh are grouped with Nepal, Palestine and Northern Mariana Island in forthcoming AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers, which is scheduled to start from March 2-6 in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Lodewijk de Kruif will be the 16th foreign coach of Bangladesh after Warner Beckelhauft (Germany), Gerherd Schmit (Germany), Nasser Hejaji (Iran), Oldrich Swab (Switzerland), Man Young-Kang (South Korea), Otto Pfister (Germany), Samir Shakir (Iraq), Mark Harrison (England), George Kottan (Austria), Naeemuddin (India), Andres Cruciani (Argentina), Edson Silva Dido (Brazil) and Zoran Djordevic (Serbia) and Robert Rubcic (Serbia), Nikola Ilievski (Macedonia)
Lodewijk de Kruif will be the sixth foreign coach to be involved with the Bangladesh football in the last seven years since the insertion of Argentine Diego Cruciani back in 2005. Cruciani guided Bangladesh to the final of the SAFF Championship and the players, for a little while, presented an impressive brand of football under the Argentine. India’s Naeemuddin (2006-07) and Edson Silva Dido (2008-09), the man from Brazil, came to Bangladesh again promising resurgence. Serbian Zoran Djordevic (2010) came in during the SA Games and guided the host to the coveted gold medal. Robert Rubcic (2010-11) and Nikola Ilievski (2011) hardly had time to settle and departed early.
Under Ilievski who took over the team just before Bangladesh's World Cup pre-qualifiers match against Pakistan Bangladesh won 3-0 at home and forced a goalless draw to go the second round.
However, Bangladesh failed to surpass Lebanon by conceding a 4-0 defeat at Beirut but managed to earn a 2-0 victory in the return leg at home, which is one of the most memorable moments in the history of Bangladesh football.
However Ilievski failed to produce a wining formula in the SAFF Championship in New Delhi where Bangladesh lost to Maldives and Nepal and drew goalless with Pakistan to crash out from the group stages it was natural that his tenure has come to and end.
Lodewijk de Kruif will be given the responsibility to charge Bangladesh football team with the Dutch flavour and BFF president Kazi Salahuddin is impressed with the Dutch procedure for a long time. He praised the probable coach of the national side Lodewijk de Kruif by saying that the Dutchman holds the same formula and planning about football that he does too.
