This article lists the Pakistan national football team managers/head coaches, since the team's international debut in 1950.
Under Shahjahan as coach, Pakistan won their first ever title at the 1952 Asian Quadrangular Tournament, where they ended joint-winner with India.[1] On 10 October 1957, Pakistan first foreign head coach John McBride was signed on a two-year contract.[2]
