Adil Basher (Arabic:عَادِل بَشِير الْحَاتِم; 1 January 1926 – 9 October 1978) was anIraqifootball player andcoach that ledIraq to the1964 and1966 Arab Cup.
Born inMosul in 1927, Adil Basher completed his primary and secondary education in the northern Iraqi city before moving toBaghdad to enroll at the Military College (Kuliya Al-Askariya), where he played fortheir football team as a defender. He graduated in 1951 and was one of the players that made a quest appearance forAl-Haras Al-Malaki againstPakistan in 1950. He continued his career after leaving Kuliya Al-Askariya in 1954 in a player-coach role at army teams Al-Firqa Al-Thaniya andAl-Firqa Al-Thalitha.
Adil traveled toEngland in 1954 where he earned a coaching badge at a training course inLilleshall, and returned to Baghdad in time to represent Iraq at the 1955 Asian Military Games inTehran.
Standing well over 6 ft, the defender was a formidable opponent but had more success as a coach than he ever had as a player.
He later turned to coaching in the late 1950s and was named coach of the military team in 1960 and eventually national coach in 1964.[1][2][3]
