On his quest for completing the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) licence A course, Mohun Bagan coach, Karim Bencharifa has passed Module A successfully.
Apparently, AFC license A course is divided in two modules, A and B, and the duration of each module is two weeks. Module A of the AFC licence A course was held in Singapore from May 25 to June 6.
Bachelors of Sports graduate, Karim has completed a plethora of courses, including licence A course from Morocco, and perhaps the most qualified soccer coach serving in India. However, AFC does not recognize this course and Karim was adviced to take up AFC Licence A.
Interestingly, Morocco is ranked much higher than India in the FIFA rankings, and Karim’s licence A course from Morocco was not recognized by AFC. However, AFC recognized his Diploma from German Football Association, Leipzig, Germany equivalent to AFC licence B.
Karim needs to complete AFC Licence A - Module B successfully and then resume his duty in Mohun Bagan.
Best of luck, coach!
