    He is definitely not a perpetual loser. He may not have been successful in his recent coaching stints but taking Croatia to the World Cup in 2014 and taking the FIFA ranking of Croatia to the 4th position is no mean achievement.

    Good Luck Coach Stimac.
    Well Done AIFF Technical and Executive Committee in not succumbing to pressure.

    Sour Grapes for Agency and media friends of Roca !!
    Next time how about changing the Agency and coming in-person for Job Interview ?? Tell you what, skype is not that effective !!

    If any agency develop so much power that appointment of NT manager (Roca) is under their control, it is not any good thing for Football. What message it would have given to all other players? Same agency would have selected National Team also amongst those who are associated with it. Media friends would have promoted such players only.

    One agency won, one agency lost. No issues.

    It's not a conspiracy theory. The fact is others chance was really sabotaged and it has been well known inside football circles.

    Whats with this "One Agency controlling everything" theory? Is it based on any credible source or just pure speculation made by certain members of this forum ( I loved when someone declared that EB was about to win I league this season as they had a deal cut out with FSDL to play in ISL next year... Guess how that turned out. Or the speculation by another that Roca's appointment is a certainty since he has friends in AIFF...that too bit the dust). Does anyone have any solid basis for saying that Chettri is interfering/influencing with the decisions of federation? If not then why to spread rumours which casual football fans, who surf the forum once every few days to catch up on all the news, read and may form a biased impresdion about an individual, that too one of our greatest player ever! 
    And why this sudden witch hunt after Chettri and calls for his retirement? The man may be turning 35 but is still the best striker in India  miles ahead of others. Give young strikers a chance in the team, but not by removing chettri. Gradually blood young strikers, make them play alongside chettri, let him mentor the young ones, impart his immense experience to them. Thats how you create a new crop of good strikers,  and not by arbitrarily retiring one of the best in-form player in India just because he is old!

    Sunil Chhetri: India will benefit from Igor Stimac’s ‘tremendous experience’

    The Indian captain extends a warm welcome to the new head coach

    Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri on Wednesday gave a thumbs up to the appointment of Igor Stimac as head coach.

    The 51-year-old Stimac, who was part of Croatia’s 1998 World Cup squad that finished third in France, was on Wednesday officially declared the head coach of the Indian team. He comes with an experience of over 18 years in coaching, structuring, and developing football with players back home and internationally. As a coach, Stimac’s major achievement was guiding Croatia to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals in Brazil.

    “I would like to extend a warm welcome to the new boss, @stimac_igor on his appointment as coach of the national team. He brings with him tremendous experience of having coached on some of the biggest stages in football. We will do well to benefit from it,” Chhetri said on Twitter.

    The 34-year-old Indian said the players will continue to give their best. “This will be a process, one towards which we will be giving nothing less than 100 percent. I have already spoken with the boys from the national team, and we have begun working on our fitness as we will need to switch modes soon,” he said.

    “While there is a change in guard at the helm, what does not change is our desire to keep improving. What I am also assuming won’t change is the way all you fans have backed us. Let’s all turn to this new chapter together,” he added.

    India’s next assignment will be the Kings Cup tournament in Thailand beginning on June 5.
