The Bahrain Football Association (BFA) has announced that it has terminated the contract of Croatian tactician Ugo Klingor as head coach of the kingdom’s under-17 men’s football national team.
The BFA added that it has assigned Bahraini Khalid Hassan to take over at the helm of the squad for the upcoming period.
Klingor’s dismissal comes just about a week before the under-17 national team compete in the second edition of the U-17 Gulf Cup, which is to be held in Doha, Qatar from October 16 to November 4.
The Bahrainis are in Group A of the 10-nation event along with the UAE, Oman, China, and hosts Qatar, while defending champions Saudi Arabia are in Group B along with Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, and Egypt.
Klingor’s sacking also comes a day after the BFA announced that it has terminated the contract by mutual agreement of Dragan Talajic as senior men’s national team head coach.
