Foreign Coaches Don’t Connect With The Players, Head Coach Of National Team Should Be Indian: Ravi Kumar Punia
Ravi Kumar Punia: With the Indian national team struggling and free-falling through FIFA rankings, and a spot in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 looking doubtful, football coach Ravi Kumar Punia believes the need of the hour is to have an Indian head coach at the helm of the senior men’s national team.
With no head coach at the helm, after the departure of Manolo Marquez, Ravi Kumar Punia believes given the success of Crispin Chhetri with the women’s side, familiarity is key and an Indian tactician like Khalid Jamil would be a better choice for men's national team head coach.
“Why promote someone else when we have good coaches here? We have Khalid Jamil and many others with the right qualities. In your family, your father knows everyone well - their strengths and what they can do. Similarly, in Indian football, if we bring in someone from outside, even with good experience, they won’t connect with the players the same way.
