'Work With Kids, Bring Good Coaches': Andrey Chernyshov On Improving Football In India
Super League Kerala: Russian coach Andrey Chernyshov emphasised the need for India to work extensively in youth football and with children, and to bring in good coaches into the Indian setup to improve the quality of the sport in the country.
Chernyshov is currently the manager of defending Super League Kerala champions Kannur Warriors, having taken over as coach ahead of the third season's start on September 25. The 58-year-old has played for and worked with European and Russian clubs, including Russian giants Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Moscow.
"This is not just in India but in places like Russia, Serbia, Macedonia and Kuwait too. The solution is to target youth football. This is a must in Indian football and in many other countries. You need to work very professionally with the kids. You know, you must have good coaches at this level," he told IANS in an exclusive interaction.
