BFF drops Kruif, Tito interim coach

Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has decided to relieve Lodewijk de Kruif as the head coach of the Bangladesh National Football team.
Bari Tito, his deputy, will take charge of the team temporarily, said BFF President Kazi Salahuddin, according to a news agency.
BFF has also asked Rene Coaster, an assistant of de Kruif, to leave.
Salahuddin announced the decision of getting rid of the Dutch coach after an emergency BFF meeting Saturday.
“He (Kruif) will no longer remain as coach. Tito will shoulder his responsibility for the moment,” he said.
De Kruif was appointed national team coach in June last year. BFF claims, despite being in charge for 16 months, he has actually worked with the team for a very short time.
And he had failed to bring any laurels as Bangladesh crashed out of the just concluded Incheon Asian Games in group stage.
De Kruif repeatedly criticized the federation for unresolved payments, poor accommodation and lack of personal perks. As a result, his relationship with the federation gradually deteriorated.
