Eric Murray named interim coach of Bangladesh Women's Football Team

The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has appointed French coach Eric Murray as interim head coach of the national women's football team for one month.

Murray will take charge of the team in preparation for two upcoming international friendly matches against Singapore, stepping in during the absence of regular head coach Peter Butler.

Butler is currently undergoing medical treatment in England due to a serious illness. The BFF has issued a statement wishing him a speedy and full recovery, expressing hope that he will rejoin the team soon after regaining his health.

Bangladesh are scheduled to face Singapore in two friendly matches in December.

The fixtures will mark the first international assignment for the women's team, led by players such as Rituparna Chakma, since their disappointing campaign at the last Asian Games.

The temporary appointment of Murray comes at a crucial time as the team looks to regroup and regain momentum ahead of the Singapore series.
