In a recent development in the world of Nepali football, the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) has appointed Australian coach Matt Rassel as the head coach of the national men’s football team. The official announcement of Rassel’s appointment was made on Sunday, generating excitement among football fans in Nepal.
Matt Rassel has signed a preliminary one-year contract with ANFA, sealing the deal with his signature. ANFA General Secretary Kiran Rai also signed the agreement from the association’s side. This move comes after the conclusion of negotiations with the previous head coach, Bhinsejenjo Alberto Annes, whose contract was not renewed, paving the way for Rassel to take over the reins.
The position for the head coach role had been open since November, when ANFA had invited applications for the post. The arrival of Matt Rassel is seen as a significant step in the development of Nepali football, signaling a new chapter under his leadership.
From Ramesh Khatri’s perspective as a representative of Kansai Nepal News, this appointment marks a promising new era for Nepali football, with hopes high for positive changes and advancements under Matt Rassel’s guidance.
