The Qatar Football Association has agreed to provide the services of three international football coaches to Sri Lanka.
This followed discussions Football Sri Lanka (FSL) President Umar Jaswar had with Qatar football officials.
Two coaches will arrive on May 14 or 15 on a three-year contract, Umar told the Daily Mirror.


The salaries of all these coaches will be funded by Aspire Foundation Zone, Qatar on a request made by Jaswar.
The head coach will be former Manchester City player Andrew Morrison and the assistant coach will be Keith Stevens, who has 557 professional appearances in the English Football League (EFL).


The Qatar Football Association is also looking to provide a new goal keeper coach in the first week of June.
Sri Lanka has decided to obtain the services of these foreign coaches after terminating the contract of head coach and technical Director Amir Alagic.
