When he first faced the Nepali media, Matt Ross had claimed to take Nepali football to another level. However, he did not last even a year. He probably gave up after seven months. Everyone who had the opportunity to see him closely recently had the same opinion that he was becoming more and more disappointed day by day. All this bad situation was starting to be reflected on his face.
The Australian coach's resignation from the Nepali national men's football team was officially announced on Thursday. He had sent his resignation to the All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) three days ago. According to ANFA sources, he is in Germany for personal reasons. The main question is why did he resign from the post of head coach?
Perhaps there will be no exact answer to this either. As long as he himself will not respond. But some of the reasons for the resignation can be easily guessed. If we are to believe those who worked closely with him. The first reason was to remove Linde David Henderson, whom he had appointed as his assistant, from the team. He had been informally saying that technical analyst Linde should be in his team. However, ANFA did not continue him in the team.
Salyan Khadgi had recently worked as Ross' assistant in Linde's place. The second reason was that he had no means of selecting players as the head coach. After the friendly match against Bangladesh at the Dasharath Stadium, he said that it was great for the players to play so much in a situation where there has been no league for more than two years.
Before that, he called some players and adopted an open selection process. What he began to feel was that due to the lack of a league, it was difficult to select players for the national team. This had also started to affect the performance of the national team. He had openly told everyone that there were only three players currently playing in the national team. They were captain Kiran Limbu, Rohit Chand and Anant Tamang.
Meanwhile, some players had threatened to retire if the league did not happen and the national team continued like this. He was also aware that the poor performance of the national team could ruin his career. That is why he resigned suddenly. However, he had been planning for it for a long time. When the news of his departure came out, it has again pushed the Nepali national team towards uncertainty, disappointment and confusion.
