NNIS VIDEO: Igor Stimac – Sunil Chhetri is here to stay!

Indian football coach Igor Stimac feels that Sunil Chhetri is “playing like a 29-year-old” and remains irreplaceable for the next few years.

The 35-year-old Chhetri has been in prolific form in recent years but since netting India’s lone goal in the 1-2 loss to Oman in September, he has not found the target in the last three matches of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.

Asked if he has found any player in India who can replace Chhetri in the future, Stimac said, “I don’t know why people mention about replacing Sunil, he is not going anywhere. He is fit and doing his best. He is very valuable to us. His body is like a 29-year-old!”
