On the playoffs…
It’s truly fulfilling for me to be coaching Jamshedpur FC, and I’m immensely grateful to the club for entrusting me with this role. As for our performance, I firmly believe we merit a spot in the top six. Securing a win in our upcoming home game would certainly make the situation more comfortable. However, despite this, I can’t shake off the feeling of dissatisfaction because I strongly believe we belong in the top six. It’s not about assigning blame; rather, it’s about recognizing our potential. The players have shown commendable dedication, both foreign and Indian, putting in their utmost effort. I consider myself fortunate to work with such committed individuals. The support from management has been invaluable as well. Yet, the fact remains that we fell short of our target, and while I refrain from pointing fingers, I maintain that we deserve better. Looking ahead, we must aim higher. Our capabilities demand it. As we prepare for the next season, we must strive for excellence in all aspects, ensuring that our facilities and performance reflect our true potential.

Certainly, about this topic, I’m contemplating the upcoming match. As for coaching the Indian National Team, that’s something to consider at a later time. I’m not assigning blame to Igor. He’s also performing well. Let’s monitor the situation and see how it unfolds. However, my focus remains on my professional duties. Whenever I have the opportunity, I’m committed to showcasing my abilities. Currently, my dedication is solely towards Jamshedpur FC.
Message to the Fans…
I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported us throughout. Their unwavering support, from the first minute to the last, has been invaluable. It’s important to continue backing us because without their support, our achievements would not be possible. From the bottom of my heart, I am genuinely thankful. Let’s continue to receive their support moving forward.
On hosting an EID party if you guys win tomorrow…
I haven’t contemplated this; rather, I’ve observed it. It’s for the betterment of the club. The players are accustomed to celebrating, whether it’s recent occasions like Holi or upcoming ones like Eid. Indeed, it’s a grand celebration, not just an ordinary one. It’s not excessive; it’s simply part of our normal routine.
