However, the side came under heavy criticism from local media over the team’s defensive tactics during the Asian Cup.
The side failed to score in their last three matches, forcing penalty shootouts on each occasion.

“This is not just the coach’s responsibility. Rather, it’s ours.”
The KFA is scheduled to hold a meeting on Tuesday and discuss its strategy for finding a replacement.
