Joakim Alexandersson to stay as India women’s U20 football team coach for continental campaign
Sweden’s Joakim Alexandersson will stay as the head coach of the Indian women’s U20 football team for the continental campaign later this year even though the senior and the U17 national sides are set to have new personnel at the top of the coaching staff.
In a rare instance, three Indian women teams — seniors, U20 and U17 — are competing at the continental showpiece in their respective categories this year. With FIFA World Cup qualifications at stake, the AIFF has brought changes in the top coaching hierarchy.
Costa Rica’s Amelia Valverde, who led her nation to the FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2015 and 2023, has been roped in as the senior women team’s mentor just for the duration of AFC Asian Cup from March 1 to 12 in Australia.
