Surely this is a step back. He assisted in the Thai Premier League, coached the worst club in the I-League, and now finds himself in Bangladesh. Well... good luck to him.</div></font></div>
Ha, perhaps. I would actually like to see him in the I-League again. He seemed like an okay coach, said the right things etc and United Sikkim did look like a side that had slightly better fitness and style of play under him unlike their times with De Ridder and Baichung.<div><br></div><div>However, I wonder why he chose Bangladesh? I would have thought he would have had some offers in India or at least in South-East Asia. I am guessing there are things that happened off the field which I don't know about which would prove that he is not a competent coach at all.</div>
