Is Owen Coyle the man to end Jamshedpur FC's ISL play-off voodoo?

Life in the Indian Super League (ISL) has been sort of strange for Jamshedpur FC in the three seasons since their inception in 2017.

The Tata Steel-owned club has a dedicated fan following, extremely good facilities and managed to bring in very good overseas players and accomplished coaches. However, they remain the only side in the 10-team competition to never have reached the play-offs.

And it is not like they have not threatened to do so. In each of the three seasons, Jamshedpur have seen themselves miss out narrowly on the top-four. A lot of it is down to a combination of factors including a medley of coaches, none of whom have stayed at the club for more than a season.
