The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has announced the appointment of Manolo Marquez as the new head coach of the Indian men's national team, effective immediately. Marquez, a seasoned coach from Spain, will be taking on the dual role of coaching both the national team and FC Goa for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Marquez's appointment comes in the wake of the departure of former head coach Igor Stimac and the retirement of Indian football legend Sunil Chhetri, marking a new era for Indian football. With his extensive experience in the Indian Super League (ISL) where he managed teams like Hyderabad FC and FC Goa, Marquez is well-equipped to lead the national team.
