Makram Daboub

Makram Daboub (Arabic: مكرم دبوب; born 30 December 1972) is a Tunisian football coach and former player. He was most recently the head coach of the Palestinian national team. He worked as a goalkeeper coach for the Olympic team.[4] Daboub managed the local team that won the 2020 Bangabandhu Cup in Bangladesh.[5]

Before his promotion to coach Palestine in April 2021, he was a goalkeeper coach.[6]

During his club career, he spent time at Espérance Sportive de Tunis during his upbringing. He retired as a player in 2009 after a lengthy stay at Espérance Sportive de Zarzis.[7]

Managerial career

Despite gaining only 8 points in a group that seemed within their grasp, Palestine managed to advance to the third and crucial stage of qualification for the 2026 World Cup finals.[8] During the recent game, where the result didn not impact the standings, the team suffered a 5-0 defeat against Australia. The calls from Palestinian fans intensified, calling for the replacement of Daboub with a more experienced coach to guide the team in the upcoming matches.[9] A lot rumor runs behind the curtains and then comes a impressive draw (1-1) against South Korea. Despite this last result, on December 3rd, 2024, Daboub, who was in charge since April 2021 (30 games: 12w-8d-13l), must leave the seat in favor of Ihad Abou Jazar who was until this date the manager of the Palestinian U23 selection.[10]
