7 coaches has been appointed from 2021 with only 2 coaches reaching double digit matches. No long term plan and lobbying for few players by few coaches/admins. #IndianFootball

After Coach Thomas Dennerby left post the Paris Olympic Qualifiers in 2023, there has been a lack of seriousnes in coach selection for our women's teams by @IndianFootball What is disturbing that despite these ad hoc selections, the women qualified for AFC Asia Cup Finals. One would like a honest take from the technical committee on how it selects a coach for a national team! Setting up a tribal selection process for our National team coach does more harm. @IndianFootball can do course correction to remedy this ill and save themselves from disgrace!

India U-20 squad selection doesn’t look the strongest, preparations haven’t been ideal and with Bangladesh & Pakistan in the group, it’s not going to be easy. Head coach Mahesh Gawli has a big job on his hands. #IndianFootball

LOL

@panenka_goal I have to agree to this. After watching 5 coaches in just more than 2 years, its impossible to believe that there is a good path to being an Indian coach under the current federation. The seriousness towards womens football is absent.
