Look for the Bangladeshi PM to give a 3 day holiday in celebration for this news.:dry:
The Bangladesh PM is probably occupied with getting rid of the nationwide blockade TBH. He'd be inspirational for Bangladesh (better than Cruciani, the guy they had before anyway) and it would be useful experience for Zidane as well. Against the footballing powerhouses of Nepal, Pakistan and Tajikistan that is.

Just a random one, but how good are the teams English? Wouldn't there be a barrier having a French coach (as I assume English would be the only language they have in common)

Considering he is of Algerian descent one would assume he can speak Arabic, although I have no idea how similar it is to Urdu (I assume it is spoken there considering it was part of Pakistan once upon a time?)

Bangla is their language. Somewhere in between Arabic and Hindi I think but someone else would need to clarify this.

Yeah, Bangla is the main language. I don't think it's closely related to Arabic but I could be wrong. It's not uncommon to find people in Dhaka with a decent grasp of English but I imagine if he was to coach a team he'd require an interpreter. Unless he speaks Arabic, which I don't think he does.

Most of them can probably speak English. I guess there would be a French - Bangla translator as well.

He could let his team relax and then go to the middle and beat them on his own.

Ignoring the obvious drawback in that he's not Bangladeshi.
