Look forward to seeing Japanese/Korean and also middle eastern players (preferably mid-fielders) this season! 🤞🤞 I feel our local youngsters can learn a lot more these players who more or less match our physicality and culture.
Also, would be impressive to see a few mid-tier Asian coaches taking the reigns of a few of ISL clubs, am optimistic that they could be beneficial for development of young lads...! Enough of unproven European coaches, time for the Asian ones (from top footballing cultures - preferably Iranians, Koreans or Japanese) to be called in, ofcourse language barriers notwithstanding!
IFNers beware, Big Brother err Brazilian brother is watching you!
Honestly, I became a fan of Marcelinho when I watched him playing for DD. I remember he performed decently for FCPC too. It was when I had expressed my wish of seeing him in East Bengal colours that our former FCPC fan and IFN member @shanks alerted me about his temperament and attitude which apparently did not go down well with the management there. As he said, there was no doubt about his talent (on his day, he could win a match single-handedly) but he was a very poor team-man. His performance graph had only gone down after that with his "antics" taking centre-stage.
As people have said, he is an "underachiever" who lost the plot due to his attitude problems.
@debarghya89 had earlier cited the example of former MB player Dusit Chalermsnan who has been coaching current Thai Ligue 1 Champion BG Pathum United successfully for some time. Let's see what coaches from these Asian countries bring to the table.
@Abhishek totally right. Also I noticed that all but most of these coaches in iran, japan, qatar including the persepolis coach have uefa pro license. Coaches there are allowed with uefa licensing. Is that a fact that coaching badges there are better ? I'd like to think so. Maybe Aiff also could encourage our coaches to do the same and choose that over afc licensing. They could even go out of India and coach as well.
Iranian coaches would bring the Physicality in to our teams playing style. I hope we atleast get an Iranian coach in isl . Spanish players find it easy here in India as they can play relaxedly. Coaches from Uzbekistan are also welcome.

Actually, Clifford has "AFC Pro license" and not the UEFA one....
