New Delhi, June 19

Full of praise for the players he coached for five years, Igor Stimac today said he never expected to be “so personally invested” in the country when he first joined and lauded his wards for their “courage and character”.

“To all Indian football fans and my blue tigers, it’s been an honour to serve you over the last five years,” Stimac posted online. “I didn’t expect to form such a strong bond with this country and be so personally invested when I first joined you all. I am proud of every player and team member. Together we were able to create an environment of hope and belief, we pushed each other physically and mentally to play fearless, intelligent football, which required a lot of courage and effort,” added Stimac, who is now back in Croatia.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
