Jaffar Khan (Urdu, Pashto: جعفر خان; born on 10 March 1981) is a Pakistani football manager and former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He is the current head coach of Pakistan Army football team.
Jaffar played for Pakistan Army from 1998 till 2019, and captained the Pakistan national team from 2003 until 2013 since his first selection in 2001. Despite his lack of height needed for modern goalkeepers, he was praised for his shot-stopping skills and reflexes.[1] He is considered as one of the most successful goalkeepers to play for Pakistan.[2] Khan also served as a soldier in the Pakistan Army.
