Notes
A few notes relating to Muhsin...
- An Iraqi sports radio show ([1]) that at some point gives a description of him per Google: ("ثامر محسن ايضا استاذ جامعي واللاعب الدولي السابق للمنتخب الوطني" [...Thamer Mohsen is also a university professor and former international player for the national team...])
- A Facebook post with an image of him and two others, captioned:
المكان : هامبورغ المانيا الغربية عام 1984 - عمالقة المدربين العراقيين ثامر محسن و واثق ناجي - ( رحمهم الله ) واللاعب عوده لعيبي بالوسط [The giants of Iraqi coaches: Thamer Mohsen and Wathiq Naji ... and the player Awda Laibi in the middle - Place: Hamburg, West Germany, 1984]
- Third from the left in this Facebook picture from "Al-Riyadi Sports," describing him as one of the (translated) "giants of Iraqi football and the discoverers of its stars."
- Mentioned in this book apparently. Per Google Books:
... ثامر محسن سكرتير والتدريب المتواصل وأكد أن الأعمار المهمة تحتاج إلى الصبر والزمن لكي تجني وقال أن التدريب قد توقف خلال فترة إلى أن أمل المنتخب الفرنسي في الحصول إتحاد كرة القدم العراقي بحديث مهم لمجلة الإذاعة والتلفزيون أوضح فيه الحاصل ... [... Thamer Mohsen Secretary and continuous training and stressed that important ages need patience and time to reap and said that training had stopped for a period until the French team hoped to obtain the Iraqi Football Association in an important interview with the Radio and Television magazine in which he explained the result ...]
- His books are cited multiple times in other books.
- There are many questionable Arabic websites that mention him (e.g. [2]), but none that I can find that give a story focused on him. That's probably because there's no online Iraqi newspaper sources from his era...
- The Iraq National Library and Archive has a collection of books that appear to have been written by him ([3]), including (translated):
- K Thamer Mohsen -- Old football and its basic elements -- 1972
- K Thamer Mohsen -- Circular training in football -- 1989

- K Thamer Mohsen Ismail -- Testing and analysis in football -- 1991
