Thangboi Singto signs for Kerala Blasters as Assistant Coach & Technical Director for Youth!

Indian Super League franchise Kerala Blasters FC earlier today announced the signing of Thangboi Singto as the new first team Assistant Coach and Technical Director for the KBFC Youth Development.

43 year old Manipur-born Thangboi Singto is an AFC Pro License Coaching degree holder and brings years of experience of coaching at Shillong Lajong FC to the south Indian team.

He first joined Lajong FC’s coaching staff and only in 2013 was named head coach of the I-League club. For the last four years he has been successfully coaching in Meghalaya with the Reds known to develop their own young talent with Singto giving chances to youngsters in his playing squad.

Shillong Lajong FC released Thangboi Singto a few weeks ago and since there has been speculations about which team he would join with Singto linked to the vacant head coaching jobs of I-League champions Aizawl FC and relegated Mumbai FC, while other ISL franchises also showed interest into the experienced coach.

Now Thangboi Singto moves to the south and will have to prove himself in an alien environment in which he will work with a foreign head coach likely to be last seasons head coach Steve Coppell while looking after the clubs youth development program.
