ASHLEY WESTWOOD has taken charge of one of the most "daunting jobs" in football.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United prospect has been named manager of the Afghanistan national team.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Westwood, 47, has signed a one-year contract and has his first match in just eight days.<\/p>\n

The retired defender's first clash will be against Qatar in a World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n

However, his biggest task will be getting a team together as 18 stars are currently boycotting the Afghanistan Federation.<\/p>\n

This is due to the allegations that there is corruption within the federation with the players not coming back until President Mohammad Yuosef Kargar resigns.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the current issues, Westwood said: "I understand player's concerns and issues.<\/p>\n

"At the end of the day I want to play for me and for this country.<\/p>\n

"I will quickly now go into camp in Qatar with 25 players and I will start to form opinions of the players and how they run and conduct themselves.<\/p>\n

"We will start to make quick decisions about players and those who do not have the right commitment will not be picked."<\/p>\n

Former Notts County and Afghanistan ace Noor Husin is one of the players who are currently boycotting the team.<\/p>\n

The now Southend star has claimed that money is being taken that is supposed to help football "grow".<\/p>\n

He told The Guardian: "I\u2019ve been in the national team for four years now and this issue has always been here<\/p>\n

"None of us come for the money \u2013 it\u2019s a great honour to represent the national team and we all fly from different parts of the world. <\/p>\n

"But we\u2019ve seen the corruption inside the federation, how they take the money that they are supposed to be using to help football grow."<\/p>\n

Westwood never made a senior appearance for the Red Devils before he was sold to Crewe by manager Sir Alex Ferguson.<\/p>\n

He went on to have a colourful career as he played for the likes of Bradford City, Sheffield Wednesday, Northampton Town, Wrexham, Kettering Town and Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

After hanging up his boots he entered the world of football coaching and was named player-manager at Kettering Town.<\/p>\n
