Monwar Hossain Nannu (Bengali: মনোয়ার হোসেন নান্নু; 27 August 1948 – 16 February 2008)[1] was a Bangladeshi football player during the 1970s and early 1980s.

[4] They participated in the Mardeka Cup held in Malaysia, and during the tournament Nannu scored against South Vietnam in a 1–1 draw.

Nannu quit the national team in 1978, only to return to the squad during the 1980 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers held in Dhaka.

It was Sheikh Kamal who persuaded him to join Abahani, after Nannu had a row with his brother Manju at Mohammedan SC.

The same year, Nannu won his innaugural First Division title, under Irish coach William Bill Hart.

Officials of both parties were worried about the matter, as a fight would have brought in a storm of criticism, and eventually the brothers were convinced into shaking hands before the game got underway.

However, the Bangladesh Football Federation changed their decision and goalkeeper Shahidur Rahman Shantoo from Mohammedan SC was appointed the new captain.

Seven Abahani players: Rakibul Islam, Shafiul Arefin Tutul, Khurshid Alam Babul, Amalesh Sen, Kazi Salahuddin, Ashrafuddin Ahmed Chunnu and Nannu, withdrew from the team in protest.

[2] When I see a player of my younger brother's age dodging me and taking the ball in front of my eyes, and I can't do anything, I had to quit the game.
