Academies should be left with clubs and private football schools. AIFF should provide playing platforms, 6 month long leagues for U13, U15, U17, U20 categories with home and away matches. These leagues should be played at grounds where the turf is conducive to play football and not kabbadi. All matches should be streamed live on facebook pages. And set up a panel of qualified coaches who will scout throughout the league across all categories. This panel should report directly to the NT youth team coaches. The funds from SAI would be better utilized this way. With the current model, SAI should stop paying AIFF.
"We are very concerned about the performance of the U-19 team and I have asked Pinto to meet Abhishek, Isac Doru and even Igor Stimac for a detailed review of what went wrong in the AFC Championships qualifiers performance," AIFF general secretary Kushal Das told PTI.
"The players have been doing well generally but the results (in the AFC U-19 Championships Qualifiers) were strange. We know Saudi Arabia are the defending champions and Uzbekistan have been doing well recently but still we should have produced a much better performance and we are definitely concerned about the performance of the team," he added.
The 0-3 loss to Afghanistan was the one the AIFF was not able to digest.

Aiff found the performance of u19 team to be strange.😂 We cannot criticize aiff for this feeling as we have won the prestigious ofc cup and coveted saff cup. Fans have been angry at the performance of the team since granatkin cup. Do they know this? Do they even check the twitter comments of their page.
He said the video footages of India's matches will be analysed and the technical committee of the AIFF will also be asked to give its inputs.
"It is not an inquiry, it is just a review. On the basis of this review, we will see what can be done and what steps can be taken. On the inputs given by these experts, we will see whether we can have a different approach to the game or change the playing style, like that."
Asked if the coach's position may be on the line, he said, "No, as of now it will be a detailed analysis of the performance of the team.
The u19 team trained in Saudi Arabia before going there to perform like that.. Abhishek yadav and isac doru must also be held responsible for their failures.. Not just pinto..
Make Deggi Cardoza as next u19 coach.. Sack Abhishek yadav as well... This is not a govt job to be held indefinitely by pinto and yadav..
I feel quality of many of the players of bibiano(previous batch) are just average. Bibiano's team was just lucky to qualify for the afc 16 championship. Bibiano's focus on strong defense yielded us results in afc u16 championship. Now pinto had to work with these average players in u19 qualifiers. Pinto is also an average coach. If this team was coached by bibiano, we could have atleast drawn 1 or 2 matches. Aiff may not remove Pinto. He will be mentored by Igor to coach arrows, in the way Igor wants .
But Pinto did deliver results in last season i league where arrows played, lets say, decently. So maybe the problem is not entirely with the coach but the players themselves who focused on extraneous things like hair styling and flashy play while not being motivated enough to fight and win for india. In all three matches the players lacked passion, enthusiasm and energy and the sort of pride which one feels while donning the national team jersey. Same problem of attitude was with the u17 team as well since the granatkin cup when they revolted against Adams because he was being too strict with them (I don't know how true the allegations of physical assault by Adams upon players were...i really doubt them). Players playing for country should be self motivated
Nicolai was right to tie these bastard up and thrash them! These treasonous bastards should be fucked in the ass by the Afgans and then sent to jail for life. Fucking maggots!
