Kazi Jasimuddin Ahmed (Bengali: কাজী জসিম উদ্দিন আহমেদ; born 2 November 1963), known by his nickname Joshi, is a former Bangladeshi football player and coach.

Early life

Joshi was born on 2 November 1963 in Khulna, Bangladesh to Shafi Uddin Ahmed and Kazi Arefa Ahmed. He grew up playing football near the Daulatpur Railway Station and was the seventh eldest among six brothers and three sisters, among which the eldest brother was martyred in the Bangladesh Liberation War. His brothers, Kazi Salahuddin and Kazi Jamiluddin Ahmed, were both footballers, with the latter also playing in the Dhaka League during the 80s.[1]

Club career

In 1980, Joshi began playing in the Khulna League for WAPDA SC under the captaincy of former Shadhin Bangla football team goalkeeper, Aniruddha Chatterjee. The following year, Joshi joined Dhaka League club Mohammedan SC after impressing the club's coach, Golam Sarwar Tipu, during an exhibition match while playing for Khulna XI. From 1983 to 1984, Joshi achieved a rare feat by scoring against arch-rivals, Abahani Krira Chakra, during every single competitive encounter.[1] On 14 July 1985, Joshi suffered a severe knee injury during a league game against Wari Club. He returned to the field in 1987, however, failed regain his previous form.[2]

International career

Joshi appeared for the Bangladesh Green team during the 1982 President's Gold Cup held on home soil. On 22 September 1983, Joshi made his senior international debut during a 1–0 victory over Nepal in the Merdeka Cup. Joshi also featured for the Bangladesh U19 team during the 1985 AFC Youth Championship qualifiers held in Dhaka. On 11 August 1984, he scored his first and only senior international goal during a 1–2 defeat to Syria in the 1984 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. Joshi later appeared during both the 1986 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the 1988 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers.[1]

Coaching career

Mohammedan SC (1999–2005)

In 1999, after completing his AFC C and B courses, Joshi served as assistant coach of Mohammedan SC under head coach, Hasanuzzaman Khan Bablu. Joshi first took on duty as head coach of Mohammedan during a 1–0 defeat to Muktijoddha Sangsad KC in the semi-final of the 2005 Federation Cup on 29 April 2005.[3][4][5] He eventually guided the club to a runners-up finish in the Dhaka Premier Division League in the same year. He resigned at the end of the season and was replaced by former national teammate, Shafiqul Islam Manik.[6]

Beanibazar SC (2009)

In August 2009, Joshi was appointed coach of Beanibazar SC in the 2009–10 Bangladesh League.[7][8] Within a month of joining the Sylhet based outfit, Joshi voiced his dissatisfaction with the club's officials to local media.[9] He resigned from his post on 23 December 2005, following a disagreement over team selection with the club management, and was replaced by unlicensed coach Ekramur Rahman Rana, providing further proof of the club's unprofessionalism.[10]

Mohammedan SC (2014–2016)

Joshi guided the junior team of Mohammedan SC to triumphs in both the BFF U-16 Football Tournament and BFF U-18 Football Tournament in 2013 and 2014, respectively. On 25 November 2014, Joshi was appointed head coach of the senior team of Mohammedan, following his success with the youth team.[11] Under him the Black and Whites finished in third place in the 2014–15 Bangladesh Premier League.[12] However, the following season, the club for the first time since Bangladesh's independence, fought for relegation during the 2016 Bangladesh Premier League. Joshi resigned midway through the league on 7 October 2016, as Mohammedan recorded 6 draws and 3 defeats from 10 games. Joshi, however, later stated that his departure was due to unpaid wages.[13]

Sheikh Jamal DC (2016)

Joshi served as the head coach of Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club during the final two months of the 2016 Bangladesh Premier League and helped the club finish in third-place.[14]

Organising career
