AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey: Indian senior men’s national team head coach Khalid Jamil was introduced to the media at a press conference in Bengaluru on Monday by AIFF President Kalyan Chaubey, Vice President NA Haris, and Deputy Secretary General M Satyanarayan.
Jamil, who has been with the squad in camp for the past ten days, shared his perspective on preparations. He said, “Right now, my focus is only on the upcoming matches. This is the first step. We have limited time, so preparation is short-term, but once we progress, we can think about the next steps.”
On the challenges ahead, he said, “Yes, we have information on Tajikistan, Iran and Afghanistan. They are strong sides and have done well recently. But we must focus on our own game and be mentally prepared. The key is belief and playing as a unit. There is improvement, but it will take time. Focus should also be given to juniors alongside seniors, to build a strong future.”
