GUWAHATI: Sunil Chhetri might have announced his retirement as a player on Thursday, but his former teammates – seniors and juniors alike – want him to stay connected with the Blue Tigers in some capacity for the wealth of knowledge that the long-standing India captain has accumulated over the years.
Speaking to TOI from Gangtok, Chhetri’s former India teammate, Renedy Singh, said, “Chhetri has been a great asset for Indian football for long. His dedication, discipline, hard work, energy level, everything is tremendous. Indian football has got bigger shoes to fill with his announcement today.
