Reports suggest that he was informed by senior board officials that his services would not be required in the near future.
Chief Executive Salman Naseer relayed a message to Hafeez from the chairman, indicating a lack of interest in extending his tenure as director. Instead, the chairman aimed to bring in foreign coaching staff with new ideas.
