Spaniard Manolo Marquez, currently in charge of ISL side FC Goa, was named as the Indian men’s football team head coach after the All India Football Federation’s (AIFF) executive committee met here today.

The AIFF said the 55-year-old Marquez will perform the dual role of managing the national team as well as the ISL franchise in the 2024-25 season before taking up the India job on a full-time basis. The tenure of Marquez was not disclosed by the AIFF.

Marquez has been coaching in India since 2020. His first stint was with Hyderabad FC (2020-23).

Meanwhile, legendary footballer Bhaichung Bhutia today told the AIFF executive committee that he is resigning from his membership of the technical committee, alleging that the panel was “bypassed” while appointing the coach.

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).
