I think its time we remove Constantine and put an Indian coach at helm. What is the use of giving so much money to a foreigner when he cannot deliver. Also its time we give the mantle to some Indian and see how he performs.
Have we ever given a good term to an Indian coach (except of course Savio for a year or so) to prove himself. Sanjoy Sen / Armando Colaco and there might be some others who should now be given a chance to prove.
If we replace the word 'coach' with say 'manager', then probably it would be much clearer. NT coach doesn't actually get to coach his wards, he is there basically to manage the team.
The way I see it, as long as Indian football has a messed up calendar, we should go for an Indian coach for the national team. Once we get a proper calendar going, we can see if a foreign coach is suitable again.
An Indian coach, right now, fully understands what is going on in Indian football, the mess it is right now, and could probably get along with the players.
Date: 2 and 7 June 2016. The round consists of five home-and-away ties. Each tie will contain a team from Pot A and a team from Pot B, with the team from Pot A hosting the first leg.
The five winners advance to the third round of qualification, while the losers advance to the second play-off round.
Round Two
Date: 6 September and 11 October 2016. The round consists of three home-and away ties involving the five losing teams from the first play-off round as well as the team from Pot C.
The three winners advance to the third round of qualification.
So effectively 8 out 11 teams will qualify for third round. Looking at the other 10 teams, India has so much chance to qualify for third round. I just hope SC is serious enough to understand that.
