Stimac Row: Former Coach Sanjoy Sen Lashes Out At 'so-called Foreign Coaches'
All India Football Federation: With clamour growing for the removal of Indian men’s football team coach Igor Stimac following the Blue Tigers' shocking defeat against Afghanistan in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at Guwahati earlier this week, a former top coach has raised the pitch for the Croatian World Cupper’s sacking.
Stimac is under fire after a string of poor performances in the Asian Games and the AFC Asian Cup, followed by the goalless draw against 158th ranked Afghanistan at Abha, Saudi Arabia, and the 1-2 drubbing in Guwahati in the return leg on March 26.
Sanjoy Sen (63), the former technical director of ISL club ATK in 2018-19 who later became the team's assistant coach, has come out all guns blazing against Stimac, saying, “Indian football has not moved an inch forward with the help of these so-called foreign coaches”.
