I have to make a beginning with younger players: Colaco
Times of India | PTI | Jun 15, 2011, 05.20pm IST
Newly-appointed Indian football coach Armando Colaco on Wednesday defended his decision to show the door to senior players, including star striker Bhaichung Bhutia, by asserting that a beginning has to be made by giving chance to young talent.
Colaco had raised quite a few eyebrows when he gave the boot to 14 senior players in the World Cup second round qualifiers squad but he reasoned that youngsters need to be groomed by giving international exposure if India has to do well in future.
"Youngsters need experience and for that there has to be a beginning. I have a lot of respect for the seniors and they will be call back if they perform well. But then again, I have to begin, and the federation will stand by me," Colaco told reporters in his maiden press conference after becoming national coach.
