Right team selection is need of the hour, says Isac Doru
AIFF technical director Isac Doru has called for the right and strong team selection ahead of the FIFA U-17 Women, which would be hosted by India next year. Doru also stated that he had a full plan chalked out before coming to India and with them falling into place, he needed to assess people.
The 2020 U-17 women’s World Cup would be the first big assignment for the All India Football Federation since Isac Doru took charge of the office, and he has already called for the federation to send a statement by hosting it the perfect way.
He has asked the AIFF to zoom in on the final national team women’s squad for the extravaganza apart from recruiting the right candidates for the coaching roles. The Indian eves have been in terrific form of late, with their brilliant results in the exposure tours seeing them jumping six places to 57 in the Fifa rankings last month.
Apart from that, Doru has also promised to focus on the existing Indian Women’s League edition and improve it. “The team selection is the need of the hour. We are looking into this seriously. We’re working to refurbish the existing Indian Women’s League. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports have already assigned funds for the head coach, goalkeeping coach and fitness coach,” said Doru, reported Mumbai Mirror.
“We have to select the right kind of player because the U-17 World Cup is not very far. Besides hosting a successful U-17 Women’s World Cup, we have to have a positive result to send out a statement,” he added.
The Romanian, who has previously worked with the likes of Arsene Wenger, also reiterated on the urgent need to focus on the grassroots development and coaching education, which would be his major goals until 2020.
“I had chalked out my plan before coming to India. I had given myself 100 days to understand the ground-reality. Now, I need to assess the people around me,” Doru added.
