Mak Adam Lind ({{ne| Mohammed Ali Khan}}, {{langx|ar|محمد علي خان}}; born 1 November 1988) is a professional football coach and former player who is head coach of Swedish women's club BK Häcken.
Born in Lebanon to Lebanese parents, Lind moved to Sweden and obtained Swedish citizenship. He represented Lebanon internationally between 2013 and 2015.
Club career
In 2008, Lind joined BK Häcken from Västra Frölunda IF; he played six years at the club, and was eventually made club captain. Lind then played for Tianjin TEDA in China, before joining Halmstads BK, with whom he retired in 2016.
Managerial career
On 2 March 2016, it was confirmed that Lind was the new manager of Västra Frölunda IF in Division 3 (tier 5).[http://www.fotbolltransfers.com/site/news/61004 Officiellt: Mohammed Ali Khan ny tränare i Västra Frölunda]‚ fotbolltransfers.com, 2 March 2016 He still continued to play for Halmstads BK. But after only two matches in the charge of the club, he was forced to terminate his contract on 10 March 2016, because Halmstad didn't want him to play and coach at the same time.[https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/superettan/ali-khan-tvingas-hoppa-av-tranarrollen-skittrakigt/ Ali Khan tvingas hoppa av tränarrollen: "Skittråkigt"]‚ fotbollskanalen.se, 10 March 2016
