Fajr Ibrahim (Arabic: فَجْر إِبْرَاهِيم; born 22 June 1964) is a Syrian football coach and former player.
He did an emergency mission and replaced the German manager Bernd Stange in the last match for the team in 2019 Asian Cup against Australia.
Many pundits referred that he had the UAE visa since the middle of December,[5] so he could be ready to replace the manager if the things went wrong.
Widely unpopular with the fans and criticized by the media,[6] Ibrahim is often considered one of the reasons for the Syria national team's poor results after their 2019 Asian Cup exit,[7] citing his lack of achievements,[8] and lack of vision,[9] as some of his weakest traits, although Syria at that time had already in problem before Fajr took charge.
[10] However, he has repeatedly and openly refused to resign and has been kept as manager by the Syrian Federation,[11] despite losing to many lesser-ranked and weaker teams, much to the bewilderment of both fans and journalists.
