The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has appointed Khalid Jamil as the new coach of the Indian football team. The AIFF announced this on Friday. Khalid led Aizawl Football Club to the I-League title in 2017. For the first time in 13 years, an Indian has been appointed as the new coach of the Indian football team.
Selected from a list of three people
Former Indian international player and currently the manager of Indian Super League team Jamshedpur FC, 48-year-old Jamil has been selected by the Executive Committee of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) from a list of three members. The other two contenders were former India head coach Stephen Constantine and Stefan Tarkovic. Stefan was previously the coach of the Slovakia national team.
Selected by the committee headed by Vijayan
The AIFF Technical Committee, headed by legendary striker IM Vijayan, had selected three candidates for the final decision of the Executive Committee. Jamil will replace Spaniard Manolo Marquez, who parted ways with the AIFF last month after India's recent struggles.
This tournament will be Jamil's first challenge.
The last Indian to serve as the head coach of the national men's team was Savio Medeira, who held the position from 2011 to 2012. Jamil's first assignment in the new role will be the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA) Nations Cup, which will be played in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan from August 29.
