| Syria turn to Kwid |
 |
| Syria coach Mohammed Kwid resigned from his position on Thursday. |
DAMASCUS: Al Karama coach Mohamed Kwid was appointed as the new coach of Syria on Monday.
Kwid, who shot into the limelight after leading unfashionable Al Karama into the AFC Champions League final in 2006, will continue to coach the Homs-based outfit besides steering the national side for the rest of their 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
Kwid's predecessor Fajr Ibrahim was sacked after the Syrians eked out feeble draws against Iran (0-0) and UAE (1-1) in the first two 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Kwid's first competitive test as national team coach comes on June 2 when Syria face Kuwait on Match Day 3 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in Group 5 where they are languishing in third spot with two points behind leaders UAE (four points) and Iran (two). Kuwait bring up the rear in this group with one point.
