I hope people will stand by and support captain Ali Maher and his respected technical staff, whom I had the honour of being one of, among whom I wish them every success in the coming period. I wished I could be with them and represent our country's national team, because it is a great honour for any coach to be present and to represent our country's national team. Every success to this respected staff that deserves support and backing, and our Lord will compensate me, God willing, Lord of the Worlds.”
