Uncle Baba Trilogy Continues in Gulf
The article discusses the achievement of the late Iraqi coach Amou Baba in the Gulf Cup of Football. He won three titles with the Iraqi national team in 1979, 1984, and 1988, a record that no other coach has matched in the tournament's history. Amou Baba began his career by winning the Gulf Cup when he led Iraq to its first title in Baghdad in 1979, marking a beginning of Iraq's liberation from Kuwait's previous dominance in the competition. He then returned to win again in Muscat in 1984, before securing his third title in Riyadh in 1988, maintaining his record of three tournament wins to this day. Behind him are Yugoslav coach Ljubiša Broćić and Czech coach Milan Machala, but no one has replicated Amou Baba's achievement, making him the most decorated coach in the history of the tournament.
