Jamshedpur FC set to sign English manager Scott Cooper
The manager is a reputed figure in Thai football.
Jamshedpur FC are set to sign English manager Scott Cooper, Khel Now can confirm. A source close to the development informed Khel Now, “Jamshedpur FC are after Scott Cooper, an English manager. They are in advanced talks with him. Everything is verbally agreed between both parties and only official paperwork is remaining which should be done soon.”
The source added, “Scott Cooper is approached by another ISL team too, but he prefers Jamshedpur FC’s setup over the other team. Also, the club have liked Cooper’s profile because he is more than manager, he is known to build the project.”
Scott Cooper was in talks with an ISL club last season as well. And currently, a few other ISL clubs are also in contention to bag his services.
Doubts were there whether the club would continue with Aidy Boothroyd after a dismal ISL 2022-23 season. But after the loss against Bengaluru FC in the Hero Super Cup semi-final, it has become clearer than Jamshedpur FC will now move in a different direction and hire someone new at the helm.
With numerous young lads and the academy project running well at Jamshedpur FC, Cooper is expected to be the perfect candidate for the job. “Under his coaching, nine players from Buriram United got a call to the Thailand national team,” the source further added.

Based on the profile I found https://www.transfermarkt.us/scott-cooper/profil/trainer/28770 He hardly stayed in a club for max 2 years. He has never been at a club for more than 37 games. Seems like the article is a tad over hyping his achievements.
Mohun Bagan is willing to pay 2+ crore transfer fee for Akash Mishra. If signed, this would be highest transfer received for any player playing in India.
Until now, Mumbai city is in picture. But I don't think they would pay more than 2 crore for a defender.
As per me, Mumbai city is better option for him. AFC Champions league, training at one of the CFG foreign club and possibility of loan transfer.
