Managerial career
On 2 March 2016, it was confirmed that Lind was the new manager of Västra Frölunda IF.[2] 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 Halmstads BK didn't want him to play and coach at the same time.[3]
Lind was appointed as the new manager of Husqvarna FF for the 2017 season on 28 November 2016.[4] After the death of Husqvarna's sporting director, Issa Iskander, Lind took over this role as well.[5]
On 15 December 2017, Lind was announced as the new manager of Norrby IF for the 2018 season.[6] On 23 October 2019, Norrby IF extended his contract to 2022.[7]
Personal life
Until 2013 Lind had believed that he was born in 1986, but after locating his original Lebanon birth certificate it was discovered that he was really born in 1988 and had in reality had made his Superettan first team debut at the age of 15.[8]
Born Mohammed Ali Khan, in 2019 he changed his name to Mak Adam Lind.[9][10]
