Shahid Uddin Ahmed Selim
Shahid Uddin Ahmed Selim (;  1952 – 5 January 2022) was a Bangladeshi football coach and former player. He spent his entire club career with Brothers Union and had both played and coached the Bangladesh national team. Selim captained Bangladesh during the 1980 AFC Asian Cup, which was the country's first ever appearance in a major tournament and also the only time they qualified for the AFC Asian Cup to date. Club career
During the Liberation war in 1971, Brothers Union shut down its club activities. After the war, Selim started reorganizing the players and also attained the services of Pakistani coach Abdul Gafur Baloch. In the early years of the club's rebirth, the players trained in a four-storey building in 48 Ramakrishna Mission Road, Gopibagh, owned by Selim's older brother, Saifuddin Ahmed Manik. Initially joining the club in 1968, Selim spent almost more than ten years captaining the Oranges during which Brothers became the third most well supported club in the country behind Abahani Krira Chakra and Mohammedan SC. In 1973, Brothers won the Third Division League, and in 1974, Selim captained Brothers to another promotion by winning the Second Division League. In 1975, Brothers Union took part in the country's top tier, the Dhaka League, for the first time and caused a major upset by defeating the defending champions, Abahani Krira Chakra, during their first league match. Selim remained club captain until 1978. In 1980, Selim was part of the team which won the Federation Cup alongside Mohammedan SC. The following year, he won the Aga Khan Gold Cup with Brothers, alongside Thai club Bangkok Bank FC. International career
In 1975, Selim made his international debut, when Bangladesh decided to participate at the Merdeka Cup, in Malaysia. This was only the second time that Bangladesh took part in an international tournament, and the national team coach at the time Abdur Rahim included Selim in the team as the main center-back Monwar Hossain Nannu was injured. He captained the Bangladesh U20 team during the 1977 AFC Youth Championship. In 1978, when several players quit the national team after a captaincly dispute involving Mohammedan's Shaidhur Rahman Shantoo and Abahani's Nannu, the federation decided to refrain from selecting captains from the two Dhaka teams, Selim was named the national team captain, in 1980. He captained the Bangladesh team during the 1980 AFC Asian Cup, in Kuwait. Managerial career
After retirement from football as a player, Selim started coaching in the lower divisions and regularly trained City Club. In 1987, he lead Bangladesh Boys Club to the Dhaka Third Division League title. In 1988, he made his Dhaka League debut as a coach with the newly promoted Fakirerpool Young Men's Club. In his first season, Fakirerpool finished sixth in the league and reached the Super League round. On 16 March 1990, Selim lead Fakirerpool to a 2–1 victory over Mohammedan SC, which ended their record of being unbeaten in the league for one thousand six hundred and fifty days. Selim got his coaching license in 1990 in Bangalore, India. In 1991, Selim was appointed as head coach of his former club Brothers Union. In the Federation Cup final that year, Brothers defeated Mohammedan on penalties to win their first solo major title. The title triumph earned him a chance to coach the Bangladesh national team at the 1991 South Asian Games. Selim guided Bangladesh to a third place finish, by defeating Nepal 2–0. During the same tournament, Selim became the first national team coach to defeat South Asian giants India, thanks to a brace from striker Rizvi Karim Rumi. From 1994 to 2009 he was the joint secretary of the Brothers Union. Selim was the vice president of the Gopibagh-based club from 2010 until his death in 2022. Personal life and death
