this BBC Sport article on the Indian Football coach Stephan Constantine. It talks about how Stephan is underrated as a coach and he wasnt given much thought as a manager when West Ham and Crystal Palace were looking for one.
This article mentions that India's rise as a football nation will definitely give the man his dues, and also when regulations for managerial positions go into effect by 2010.

This article mentions that India's rise as a football nation will definitely give the man his dues, and also when regulations for managerial positions go into effect by 2010.
Quote:By 2010, all managers must hold at least the Uefa B Pro License, or its equivalent, a qualification surprisingly few managers currently boast.

Quote:Voted Asia football's manager of the month for October, Constantine is lauded in his adopted country.
He recently guided India to the final of the first-ever Afro Asia Games, beating a Zimbabwe team ranked 85 places above India in the world rankings and losing 1-0 to Uzbekistan at the final hurdle.Â
But, for now, Constantine will simply keep up the good work in India, much to the delight of a growing nation of football-lovers.
