Indian Super League franchise Odisha FC have announced the signing of experienced Brazilian Rogerio Ramos as their new Goalkeeping Coach ahead of the 2020/21 season.
The former India national team goalkeeping coach has signed a two-year deal with the Bhubaneswar-based side.
Apart from the Indian senior and different national age group teams, Ramos was the goalkeeping coach of the Sudan national side.
The 46-year-old former goalkeeper was also active as a goalkeeping coach in various clubs like EC Santo Andre SP and EC Novo Hamburgo RS in Brazil, Mahindra United and Vasco Sports Club in India, Young In Academy in South Korea and NEA Salamina in Cyprus.
Speaking on Ramos’ appointment, Odisha FC head coach Stuart Baxter said, “I am sure that he will be a very good addition to our coaching team.”
“He has the experience of working in India and he has also spoken to assistant coach Gerry Peyton. We all are on the same page with respect to the goalkeepers in OFC and that will be a huge advantage for all of us.”
