The national football federation confirmed the appointment of a new head coach on Thursday, ending a two-month search following the departure of the previous manager after a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign.
The incoming coach, who led a top-flight club to back-to-back league titles, signed a three-year contract and will take charge immediately ahead of a friendly tournament next month.
Federation officials expressed confidence that his high-pressing style and experience developing young talent make him the ideal fit for the current squad’s profile.
