Gawli: Constantine is the best The Indian defender welcomes the return of Stephen Constantine as India manager while also speaking about a U Sports talent programme in collaboration with TSG Hoffenheim.. By Brendon Netto 03-Feb-2015 00:31:00 Mahesh Gawli is confident that the appointment of Stephen Constantine as the Indian national team manager for the second time is the right move. Having played under the Englishman during his earlier spell from 2002 to 2005, the 35 year-old defender values the discipline he brought to the squad and points out that the team's FIFA ranking was much better while he was at the helm. "I played under him, he's the best coach. He won trophies for India and instilled discipline in the side. The ranking was also good while he was there. We need him back," he told Goal . Gawli also commended Constantine's uncompromising style of coaching stating, "He was very tough. He doesn't like anyone to play loose football and wants you to do everything perfectly, minimizing individual errors. He's a good coach and a gentleman," he added. Capped 65 times for India, Gawli is currently involved in a U Sports talent development programme called U Dream for which he is the chief of training. The talent hunt is being conducted at the U-15 level across over fifty cities in the country and is associated with Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim. From over 15000 players representing more than a 1000 schools, 30 outstanding talents will be selected to fly to Germany for a six-year programme. "We're going with 30 boys from here and definitely we'll see more than 15 play in Europe after a six-year project. We're tied up with TSG Hoffenheim because in India the grassroot (programme) is very poor. Infrastructure is important and we don't have that. I think U Dream is doing a great thing for Indian football," Gawli opined. The programme is expected to widen the search to Under-15 and Under-17 categories in the future with collaborations with other Bundesliga clubs due to initiate in October this year.
