Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools: Southampton veteran Matt Le Tissier emphasised the importance of developing Indian coaches and how important it is for the managers to thrive alongside the players for Indian football. In recent days a lot of focus has been put into the grooming of Indian football coaches by the AIFF. Every ISL team is now mandated to have an Indian assistant coach in their team as well.

“The coaches from Southampton will impart their knowledge to the coaches here which they can impart to players which would improve the standards of the grassroots level and as the kids grow up they carry the standard with them and hopefully it will filter through to the Indian Super League,” former Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier told IANS.

The partnership between India’s largest football academy, Bhaichung Bhutia Football Schools and Southampton Football Club will have emphasis on the education of coaches at the grassroots with the partnership hoping to create a steady pipeline of world-class coaches in the country.
