Daniel Limones | PFF Technical Director | Pakistani Football Development | Pressing Matters #47
Daniel Limones is the Technical Director of the Pakistani Football Federation and former coach for Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.
He chats to us in great detail about his thoughts on Pakistani football and his vision to develop the sport on domestic and international levels. Dani outlines the work he is doing to construct Pakistan's footballing identity, the importance of homegrown coaches, and how he plans to kickstart youth football in Pakistan to make sure our talent is not wasted any further. He also shares his thoughts on improving the national team (men and women), creating a licensed domestic league structure, and how far away we are from that milestone.
This is a deep dive into the footballing mind and thought process of Dani Limones, a man with a mission, a man with the skills needed to improve Pakistani football like never before. If you are a football fan in Pakistan, you do NOT want to miss this!
