The Council - Indian football's relationship with foreign coaches with Novy Kapadia

The Council sits with noted football journalist and TV expert Novy Kapadia to discuss the state of Indian football at the national level and understand our relationship with foreign coaches.

Novy Kapadia is a noted football journalist and TV expert who has been involved with the game of football in India for nearly five decades now. His deep insight on Indian football becomes increasingly evident as one begins to realize that he has seen football in India grow from a distinctly local pursuit, to the national (near) obsession that it is today.

In today’s episode, Kapadia discusses Indian football’s history with foreign coaches, the evolution of Indian coaches and who would be best suited to take the reigns of coaching the Indian national team.
