Khandoker Wasim Iqbal

In March 2022, Iqbal was dismissed from the manager post of Sheikh Russel KC.

In October 2021, he became the team manager of Sheikh Russel KC in the Bangladesh Premier League.

After retiring, Wasim started his coaching career with his former club Brothers Union's under 19 team and later went on to manage the senior team for three years. However, his managerial career has not been very successful compared to his playing days. In 2013, he took charge of Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club, for the 2013 Super Cup.

On 8 March 1989, Wasim scored his last goal for the country, during what's considered to be one of Bangladesh's best ever performances in international football, thrashing Thailand 3–1 at the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Before the start of the 1989 South Asian Games, coach Nasser Hejazi dropped many regular faces including Wasim, resulting in his retirement from international football. It was suspected that as Wasim played for Abahani Limited Dhaka at the time, the former Mohammedan SC coach cum player Hejazi did not want him in the team.

Soon, Wasim attracted interest from overseas and ended up joining Calcutta Football League team and Indian giants SC East Bengal in 1987. After spending a year playing abroad, Wasim returned to Bangladesh by joining Abahani Krira Chakra. He spent two years (1988 to 1990) with the club winning the Dhaka League in 1989 and also India's Sait Nagjee Trophy, with Wasim assisting Aslam's winner in the final. In 1990 Wasim returned to Brothers, and spent two more years at the club before retiring in 1992 at the age of 31.

One of Wasim's most forgettable moments occurred during the 1985 Dhaka League deciding match against Abahani Krira Chakra, with Brother's needing a win to claim their first league title, they soon took a two-goal lead against their rivals, furthermore Wasim found himself in a one-one situation with the Abahani's Sri Lankan goalkeeper Chandrashir, however, his miss saw Abahani win the game 3–2 ending Wasim's hope for a first league title with his boyhood club.

Wasim’s career with "The Oranges" saw him win the Federation Cup in 1980 and the Aga Khan Gold Cup in 1982. The late 70s and early 80s was the golden era for Brothers Union as their academy setup produced national team players like Hasanuzzaman Bablu, Mohammed Mohsin and the ever-dependable Wasim himself, whose technical ability was not something many local players had at the time. During Brothers' Aga Khan Gold Cup triumph in 1982, Wasim scored as the club routed the Oman national football team 3–1.

In 1980, Wasim played for the Bangladesh U-19 team and soon became a member for the senior national team, making his official debut during the 1982 Quaid-e-Azam, in Pakistan. Wasim regularly featured for the Bangladesh national team from 1982 to 1989, and captained the side at the 1984 South Asian Games in Nepal, during which he struck a brace against the hosts. One of his most memorable matches for the national side came during the 1984 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers against the Philippines, when he almost single-handedly won the match for Bangladesh with his two solo goals in the first half.

Wasim's career began with his local club Brothers Union's underage team, where he took part in the Pioneer League. During his time with the youth team, Wasim managed to impress the club's captain Shahiduddin Ahmed Selim, and was promoted to the senior team, within a year. Under the legendary Brothers' coach Abdul Gofur Beluch, Wasim established himself as one of the country's best players. He started his career as a striker, but was soon converted to an out an out right winger in a 4-2-4 system and in his debut season of 1979, he scored in a 1–0 victory over Mohammedan SC. In 1984 he was named the club's captain.
