NorthEast United FC have been on a fairy tale run in the seventh edition of the Indian Super League. Defying all odds, they have silenced critics, who had written them off after their mid-season slump. But then came Khalid Jamil, who produced a stunning turnaround to lead them to just their second playoffs.
Jamil has remained unbeaten in the nine games, recording six wins and three draws. He now looks to carry on with that momentum when his team clashes against ATK Mohun Bagan at the GMC Stadium, Bambolim, on Saturday.
The coach believes all credit must go to his players. “All the players have worked very hard. Because of them, we have reached here. I never think about the nine matches. It’s about right from the first game. The boys have worked hard and I am very proud to be their coach,” Jamil said.
Khalid Jamil’s coaching template: Building a strong defence, micromanaging players, no switching off
