Ranjit Bajaj is ready to take up the manager role at the India Under-15 men’s national team, provided he is the sole one in charge. His comments came a day after he declined the role as he didn’t want to work alongside head coach Bibiano Fernandes for the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup and Festival in Azerbaijan in October. The Minerva Academy founder-director reasoned that he and Bibiano have two different coaching philosophies, and working in unison would not augur well for the team.
Key Factors
Because any good coach will say that, because he doesn’t want to sabotage his own team, “I just got to know through a trusted source and an article in the newspaper that Bibiano has also said no, citing exactly the same reasons which I have said,. “People are congratulating me, but I am not happy. I am very unhappy.
That people with two visions and philosophies cannot actually be doing it together,” Bajaj said in a video shared on Instagram. Bajaj also added that if Bibiano has said no, then the AIFF should just end the matter here and reach out to him to take up the job, as he wants to make a powerhouse in the sport. This is the worst thing they could have done,” Bajaj said in a post on his Instagram handle.
However, on Saturday morning, Ranjit shared a video on Instagram, saying he had learned that even Bibiano had declined the role, and hence he’s open to coaching the team if the All India Football Federation (AIFF) wants him.
