Mak Adam Lind (né Mohammed Ali Khan, Arabic: محمد علي خان; born 1 November 1988) is a professional football coach and former player who is head coach of Swedish women's club BK Häcken.
Born in Lebanon to Lebanese parents, Lind moved to Sweden and obtained Swedish citizenship. He represented Lebanon internationally between 2013 and 2015.
Club career[edit]
In 2008, Lind joined BK Häcken from Västra Frölunda IF; he played six years at the club, and was eventually made club captain.[2] Lind then played for Tianjin TEDA in China, before joining Halmstads BK, with whom he retired in 2016.[2]
Managerial career[edit]
On 2 March 2016, it was confirmed that Lind was the new manager of Västra Frölunda IF in Division 3 (tier 5).[3] He still continued to play for Halmstads BK. But after only two matches in the charge of the club, he was forced to terminate his contract on 10 March 2016, because Halmstad didn't want him to play and coach at the same time.[4]
Lind was appointed as the new manager of Division 1 (tier 3) club Husqvarna FF for the 2017 season on 28 November 2016.[5] After the death of Husqvarna's sporting director, Issa Iskander, Lind took over this role as well.[6]
On 15 December 2017, Lind was announced as the new manager of Norrby IF in the Superettan (tier 2) for the 2018 season.[7] On 23 October 2019, Norrby IF extended his contract to 2022.[8] Following Norrby's relegation from the Superettan in 2022, Lind left the club and, on 25 November 2022, was appointed head coach and sporting director of Ettan (tier 3) side FC Trollhättan for the 2023 season.[9]
On 1 July 2023, Lind was appointed head coach of BK Häcken in the Damallsvenskan, the top women's division in Sweden, until the 2026 season.[2]
Personal life[edit]
Until 2013 Lind had believed that he was born in 1986, but after locating his original Lebanese birth certificate it was discovered that he was actually born in 1988 and had made his Superettan first-team debut at the age of 15.[10]
Born Mohammed Ali Khan, in 2019 he changed his name to Mak Adam Lind.[11][12]
