Nepal[edit]
He announced to resign as the Nepal football team's head coach on 25 July 2021, blaming internal politics on social media.[7][8] As per Abdullah Al Mutairi's request All Nepal Football Association requested the Youth and Sports Ministry to conduct investigation.[9] On 13 October 2021, he led Nepal men's national football team to their first final in the SAFF Championship. They lost that final 3-0 against India.
Afghanistan[edit]
On 26 April 2023, he joined as the coach of the Afghanistan men's national football team.[10] His first with Afghanistan ended with chaos when he ordered his team leave the field after Kyrgyzstan’s first goal in the 97th minute during the 2023 CAFA Nations Cup.[11] On 16 June, Afghanistan lost 6-1 against Iran resulting in Al-Mutairi’s team finishing last in the group.
