"We have also identified two Germans -- Nicolai Adam and Bernard Lippert -- as the men ideal to take over as the national Under 17 coach ahead of the World Under 17 Cup to be hosted by India in 2017," said Bhutia.
According to Bhutia, the AIFF was determined to get the best man for the juniors as they represented the future of Indian football. "The under 17 coach's name will be finalised by the end of this month. This is a very important job and we are interested in decent spending on the man as the boys who train under him would be our future stars," Bhutia said.
I dnt remember how technically good or bad was Stephen Constantine as a coach of Indian NT previously but I do remember he wasn't at all impressive. That's why Bob Houghton was brought in after him. Now if we go back to him (if he is appointed) I would say we would be regressing. Not sure though how he is now.
Be ready to get to 190 FIFA ranking guys..take my word for it!! I would be happy if I am proven wrong.
Yes absolutely I dnt mind that but what will happen if this experiment fails? Just hope for the sake of Indian football he doesnt prove to be a total failure or else we will go behind another 10 - 15 years.
Sanjeev Biswas What do you think if we appoint a highly technical coach he will lead us to Asia cup or above 90 in FIFA rankings (the highest attained by India)? You got to look at his C.V. and his experience I prefer you first know about him and then give a shot.
@SanjeevBiswas You are wrong that Bob was brought after Stephan. After Stephan, sukhwinder Singh was appointed coach. After Sukhwinder Singh, Sayeed Nayeemuddin was appointed. Then after Nayeemuddin, Bob Came. Result under Stephan was a mixed bag but way much better then this Koevarmans. Under Stephan, India defeated Kuwait, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, rwanda, Zimbabwe, singapore and played draw with North Korea, Jamaica, Oman. Can we even dream of such results now?? stephan constantine humiliation was 5-1 loss to Oman in World Cup Qualification to Oman at Cochin. He was mainly fired for that.

Though very small chance
