India don't need a Coach but a FootBall Infrastructure developer.A person who brings kids out to field and allow them to enjoy their game. This is needed not a artificial coach.Once players come from younger Gen then we automatically get good players to Coach to choose. JUST MAKE KIDS ENJOY FOOTBALL.THAT WILL ONLY WORK.
From the FIFA 2010, I went on to become a fan of football or soccer and have watched some exicting and thrilling matches including the Eng vs Germany match. But now I don't want India to become another crazy country following this game. Why? Observe the game closely you will see the games are filled by physical assaults, some player tripping down the other or elbowing them down, but only fewer times they are cited for a yellow or red card. Infact, physically obstructing the opponent is perfectly allowed and part of the defense or game strategy. Sometimes the game goes on inspite of some player at the other end lying down and groaning with pain. I think, the animal instincts attract audience to such games. The audience too racially abuse the opponent players.
I wish the south asia stays away from this game, we have enough of sledging and other unsportive things in cricket.
Do you know FIFA is a corporate money organization and is hunting on countries like India to increase their profits?
By the way I hate ICC which has brought senseless rules like Powerplay, fielding restrictions to milk more money from sponsporships and TRP ratings. I liked the cricket of 80s as much as todays, except that current version has been completely unfair to bowlers, because of the greed of ICC. No wonder, there is rarely a star bowler (except for Muralidharan), we are never going to see a Marshall or Hadlee again!

No matter what happens, Glory India! Why can other sports not co-exist with cricket? Yes, we are the underdogs, but, once upon a time, so were S. Korea, Nigeria and Ghana. Anyway, let us not divert ourselves from the noble task of supporting our team.
