All India Football Federation may not extend India coach Wim Koevermans’ contract

AIFF general secretary Kushal Das said they will take a decision on Koevermans’ future after the Asian Games. “The result is indeed disappointing but we will take a call on whether to extend his contract after the Asian Games,” Das said on Thursday.

The team reached pre-quarterfinals at the previous Asian Games four years ago but, in current form, it looks unlikely that India will be able to go beyond the group stage in Incheon.

While the performances at the AFC Challenge Cup qualifiers have been underwhelming under Koevermans, India’s regional supremacy too has suffered a setback with the national team losing to Nepal, Afghanistan and now Pakistan.
