Coaching career

Barakat started his professional playing career at the age of 17 with Al-Bireh Institute, where he spent several years. During his playing days he was known as the “Bulldozer” for the power and speed he exhibited as a winger. He was also a member of the Palestine national team for two years. [3]

Barakat got his start in coaching at an early age when he was offered the role as a youth team coach by his club, Al-Bireh institute. He won 43 titles while coaching at U12, U14, and U16 level. His success convinced the Palestinian Football Association to hand him the responsibility of coaching the U14 national team. [4]

After taking the role of U14 coach with the Palestine national team, Barakat was then given the responsibility of coaching the U17 program at the age of 25. During the AFC U17 Championship qualification campaign, Barakat was the youngest manager at 25 years of age. [5]

Despite his youth he won the accolade of best manager in the competition after leading Palestine to its first ever win at youth level, beating Bahrain 3-2. [6]

He then parlayed that experience into a role with the U19 program eventually taking over the Olympic team set up in 2013. As Olympic Team coach he led Palestine to its best performance at an Asian Games- recording their first ever win in the competition and leading them past the group stage for the first time. [7]

Palestine national football team

Abdel Nasser Barakat was appointed manager of the Palestine national football team in April 2015, one month before the start of combined qualification campaign for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. [8]
