Thats a curious one. Hate or love him, you cannot discount that Constantine did improve Indian NT. I wonder what he can do with Pak NT considering they have the advantage of a lot of Europe based players.
That can only work if he picked them right. Let's see if he will pick them or the 50 year old young upcoming lords from the region.
Igor has made AIFF eat their own words..they said he will be given an extension if we make it to Asian cup quarters in January but the remarkable turnaround in NT fortunes this year has turned everything around

Well I think the extension clause is misunderstood. If we get to min 3rd round of WCQ then only the 2 year clause will be activated. I think the AIFF did not bend down like you portrayed. Yeah of course Stimac did prove all of us wrong and the results are picking up. But we need to play well against Kuwait and Qatar in WCQ to proceed further. So he is going to get extension only if he proves himself. I think this is a good move for both AIFF and Stimac.
Yes, the 2 year extension is not contingent on NT's performance 8n Asian Cup. Stimac will stay till 2026 and if we do qualify for WCQ Round 3 then he gets a further 2 year extension till 2028. Only good thing is that his salary remains the same. Atleast that's what he claimed, although in such extensions salary is usually hiked 10-20% each year.
