Savio Medeira, the current Head of Coach Education of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), suggested that the lack of opportunity for Indian coaches at the club level is a major hindrance development of coaches in the country.
Indian coaches, in general, have been deprived of coaching a top tier club in the last decade. While some I-League club still keep their faith on Indian head coaches, ISL clubs have not really entrusted an Indian coach with the head coach role despite the league removing restrictions on the same from last season.
Medeira believes that there is no dearth of quality coaches in India but they must be given chances to blossom.
