\u201cThe coaches from Southampton will impart their knowledge to the coaches here which they can impart to players which would improve the standards of the grassroots level and as the kids grow up they carry the standard with them and hopefully it will filter through to the Indian Super League,\u201d former Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The partnership between India\u2019s largest football academy, Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools and Southampton Football Club will have emphasis on the education of coaches at the grassroots with the partnership hoping to create a steady pipeline of world-class coaches in the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Saints will work closely with BBFS to implement their comprehensive coaching curriculum which will be tailored to the needs of Indian coaches, combining European football techniques with local dynamics. \u201cThe age is very important, I think if you can give tactical information to young players and get them to learn their positions well and they can develop their game which is important and hopefully that can enter into the national team as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Le Tissier who represented the Saints 270 times in his glorious career is considered to be one of the finest midfielders of his time.
