According to the Chairman of the AIFF’s technical committee Shyam Thapa, the technical director for the Indian National Football Team will be announced later this week. The current temporary technical director Savio Medeira will step down from the post once the announcement is made. Savio is standing in for the Australian Scott O’Donnell who resigned in 2017.
Here’s a brief profile of the three candidates who are in contention.
