Mahmoud Al Amna played for East Bengal in 2017 and 2018.
Mahmoud Al Amna is set to part ways with his playing days but is not sure whether to quit immediately. The Syrian maestro has already decided what he is going to do after calling it off as a footballer. The former Red and Gold star is eyeing a coaching role in his native country Syria or Egypt, where he now lives.
Speaking exclusively with Indian Express, Al Amna shared his dreams of making it big as a coach. “I have already been offered to be a coach. Still I have not said yes to them. Personally, I feel I still have a few years left as a footballer.”
Al Amna joined East Bengal after wining the I-League trophy with Aizwal FC under coach Khalid Jamil. And when Khalid was appointed East Bengal coach in 2017, East Bengal roped in the Syrian playmaker. Under coach Khalid’s tutelage, Amna helped East Bengal lift the CFL (Calcutta Football League) trophy. Though his stint with East Bengal was short, he was a darling of the fans, almost becoming a household name in the Kolkata football circuit.
