The second major assignment as head coach of India has come to an end for Igor Stimac with the side finishing bottom of the standings in the 2019 Intercontinental Cup conducted in Ahmedabad.
The Croatian has made it abundantly clear from the very start that changing the style of play of the team is one of his primary objectives and he did not hesitate to experiment towards that in the four-team tournament at Ahmedabad.
Continuing with the approach he took in the King’s Cup in Thailand, Stimac was willing to chop and change over the course of the tournament in an attempt to arrive at his best possible XI for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers starting in September.
