Coaching career

[edit]

Odisho after retiring in 1991, he went on to coach Al-Talaba and Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya, leading Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya to four trophies in the 1996–97 season. He infamously gave an interview at the end of the 1997–98 Iraqi League season telling the cameras how happy he was that Al-Quwa Al Jawiya had won the league title, but midway through the interview he announcer announced that Al-Shorta had won the league with a last minute goal and Odisho stood with a shocked, distraught face. The coach also had a lengthy spell in Lebanon managing Salam Zgharta, Al-Akhaa Ahli Aley and Safa FC. His last coaching job was at Arbil, which he stood down from in late 2011.

Since begin 2012, he is the new coach of Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.

In October 2013, Odisho was appointed Erbil SC coach for his second stint with the club.[1][2][3][4][5]

On 23 August 2017, Odisho took lead of Al-Zawra'a SC for two seasons. He led them in 62 games, winning 39 of them and winning the Iraqi league and the Iraqi super cup after a big game against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.
