Don’t tell Dastgir he’s too young to coach Afghanistan

KUALA LUMPUR: Afghanistan’s Anoush Dastgir (pic) is one of the youngest head coaches in international football at the age of 29 and he’s relishing his role.

Dastgir, who has the experience of coaching youth teams in Holland since he was 18, said he saw his leadership role as a welcome challenge since taking over from German coach Otto Pfister last year.
