Indian Super League: For any league to sustain itself, the involvement of domestic coaches is very essential. Two such examples in the current edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) are Khalid Jamil and Thangboi Singto. Notably, both coaches have been a mainstay in Indian football even before the inception of the ISL.

The ISL’s new rule for the 2024-25 season, which requires clubs to appoint an Indian assistant coach with an AFC Pro License or equivalent certification, opens doors for domestic coaches. This change allows Indian coaches to work closely with experienced international head coaches and provides opportunities to step into leadership roles, enhancing their prospects for future head coach positions.

Singto also pressed on how clubs and the management have started believing in the capabilities of Indian coaches.
