Shahidur Rahman Chowdhury (Bengali: শহীদুর রহমান চৌধুরী; born 17 November 1947), known by his nickname Shantoo, is a former Bangladeshi football player and manager.[1]

Club career

[edit]

In 1966, after giving his SSC examination in Rangpur, he moved to Dhaka. His football career started the same year for Azad Sporting Club in the Dhaka League, after impressing Azad coach Ranjit Das. However, before playing domestic football in Dhaka, he played in the inter-district team for Rangpur and the divisional team for Rajshahi, where his team reached the district final against Dhaka. He made a name for himself while playing for the Pakistan's two biggest clubs at the time, Dhaka Wanderers and Mohammedan SC, before Bangladesh's independence.[2]

International career

[edit]

Pakistan national team

[edit]

In 1967, after making his move to Dhaka Wanderers, Shantoo was one of the only four East Pakistani players who were called up to the Pakistan national football team for the 1967 RCD Cup. The other players being Golam Sarwar Tipu, Pratap Shankar Hazra and Hafizuddin Ahmed.[3] In 1968, he represented Pakistan against FC Kairat from the Soviet Union. He went on to represent Pakistan during the 1969 RCD Cup in Ankara, Turkey and also during the Friendship Cup held in Iran the same year.

I actually faced many strikers from Iran and Turkey in those three or four years (with the Pakistan national team). Since then, fear had largely disappeared. I was not afraid of anyone in Bangladesh.

— Shantoo regarding his experience playing for Pakistan.[4]

Bangladesh national team

[edit]

After the 1971 Liberation War, Shantoo played for the President's XI team during the first football match in the newly independent Bangladesh, on 13 February 1972. He kept a clean sheet as his side defeated Bangladesh XI (unofficial Bangladesh national team) 2–0.[5] On 13 May 1972, Shantoo represented the Dhaka XI team as they defeated the first international football team to visit independent Bangladesh, Mohun Bagan AC by a goal from Kazi Salahuddin.[6]

In 1973, coach Sheikh Shaheb Ali named Shantoo in the first Bangladesh national football team squad which travelled to Malaysia for the 1973 Merdeka Tournament. He made his debut for Bangladesh against Thailand during the country's first official international game. With the encounter ending 2–2, Bangladesh were reported to have lost on penalties. With Shantoo in goal, the defense that day included captain Zakaria Pintoo, Abdul Hakim, Sheikh Ashraf Ali and Nazir Ahmed Chowdhury.[7]

Shantoo remained the first choice goalkeeper for the national team during 1975 Merdeka Tournament in Malaysia, 1976 King's Cup and 1978 Asian Games in Bangkok, the 1980 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers in Dhaka, South Korea's 1979 President's Cup, Kuwait's 1980 AFC Asian Cup, President's Gold Cup in Dhaka in 1981 and lastly during the 1982 Quaid-e-Azam International Cup in Pakistan.[2][8]

Shantoo was made the national team captain for the 1978 Asian Games. At the time when the Dhaka Derby was one of the most heated football rivalries in South Asia, Bangladesh Football Federation's decision to choose Mohammedan SC's Shantoo over the more experienced Monwar Hossain Nannu of Abahani Krira Chakra, was criticized by both players and fans. This led to six Abahani players quitting the national team before the tournament.[9]

In the opening match of the 1980 AFC Asian Cup against North Korea, coach Abdur Rahim had to substitute an injured Shantoo for the second choice Wahiduzzaman Pintu. Nevertheless, after Pintu's consecutive blunders Bangladesh lost the opening game 2–3. Shantoo went on to start the next couple of the group-stage games against Syria and Iran, conceding a total of 8 goals during them.[10]

Coaching career

[edit]

Bangladesh U17

[edit]

Shantoo first coached the Bangladesh U17 team during the 2004 AFC U-17 Championship qualification,[11] and led the team to qualification to the main round with a 3–0 aggregate victory over Kyrgyzstan U17.[12] His performance resulted in his contract being extended at the end of 2003.[13]

Shantoo remained incharge of the Bangladesh U17 team for the 2004 AFC U-17 Championship. Although the team got tharshed by Qatar and Iran during the tournament, the team produced future senior international players such as Mohamed Zahid Hossain and Mithun Chowdhury.[14]

Bangladesh U23

[edit]

Shantoo managed the defending champions Bangladesh U23 during the 2004 South Asian Games.[15] After a 0–0 draw with India and a 2–1 win over Afghanistan, going into the last group game the Bangladesh team needed a draw against Pakistan to advance past the group-stage. However, Muhammad Essa late penalty knocked Bangladesh out of the tournament.

BFF technical director

[edit]

In October 2008, Shantoo was appointed as the first technical director of the Bangladesh Football Federation.[16] Shantoo served in his post until 31 October 2010 when he was replaced by Bayazid Alam Zubair Nipu.[17] It was reported that he was paid $3,000 in the first year, which was eventually reduced to Tk 1 lakh from his second year.[18] Shantoo was also responsible for the appointment of Brazilian coach Dido as the head coach of the Bangladesh national team in December 2008.[19]

Bangladesh

[edit]

Shantoo was made the interim coach of the senior team before the 2009 SAFF Championship, after Brazilian coach Dido was sacked less than a month before the tournament got underway, as he refused to select established senior players.[14][20] Shantoo's team cruised through the group-stage, with 4–1 and 2–1 wins over Bhutan and Sri Lanka[21] However, in the semi-final Bangladesh suffered a 0–1 defeat to eventual champions India who had fielded an U23 side. The game marked the end of Shantoo's coaching career.[22]
