Arthur Papas is available to sign. I hope ISL clubs take a look at him. He has gone from strength to strength. After leaving India he was the assistant under Ange (the current Spurs head coach) and now has been managing clubs well in the domestic as well as AFC Champions League. He knows our league and will be a fantastic young coach who is motivated for success. https://www.transfermarkt.us/arthur-papas/profil/trainer/63229
He was quite ahead of time when he was coaching our U-23 team as well. Our players struggled but his intense press and short passing was something exciting to watch. Even people praise Eelco for his success in that one season in NEUFC but I believe a lot of it has to do with having Arthur Papas as assistant at that time. Eelco was all downhill since he left. Not to forget him under Zico for FC Goa was also not a bad tenure.

Hmm interesting....has been immensely successful in managing Newcastle Jets and Buriram United
'On 28 June 2021, Papas was appointed as manager of A-League team Newcastle Jets. At the time, Newcastle Jets were facing great challenges as they were ownerless and the club was struggling financially. With Arthur's appointment, there was renewed energy on the pitch with the team playing an aggressive attacking style with high energy. New signings Daniel Penha and Beka Mikeltadze struck up an amazing partnership and set the league alight, the Jets often being referred to in the media as "The Box Office Jets"'
"On 25 June 2023, Papas was appointed as Head Coach of Thai League team Buriram United FC. Arthur quickly put his stamp on the team, even though he took the team 1 day before the season started and with the transfer window closed. The team won their first games in the Asian Champions League group stage for the first time in 5 years and quickly adopted Arthur's high tempo attacking football. The team came from behind Bangkok to take top spot in the league in the second half of the season, with Arthurs last 10 league games producing 9 wins and a draw"
Yeah he got them to a respectable 4th position in one season. Though the foreigners could never adapt to what he was expecting. None of our players at that time could do what was asked at that time. Though dempo was known for short passing style at that time.
