Saif Sporting Club appointed Croatian Drago Mamic as their new head coach for the ongoing football season 2019-20.

The club also appointed Julfiker Mahmud Mintu as their associate coach.

Managing Director of Saif SC Nasiruddin Chowdhury confirmed it on Sunday.  

"Both of them are experienced, I hope they will do well," Nasir said.

The appointment came just three days after the club management terminated the contract of Maldivian coach Mohammad Nizam last Thursday, citing his inability to handle the team on-and-off the field.

Saif SC were eliminated from the quarter-finals in the just concluded Federation Cup Football. They lost to Bangladesh Police Football Club in the quarter-final.
