Jamshedpur FC has named Englishman Aidy Boothroyd as their new head coach ahead of the ninth season of the Hero Indian Super League, the club announced on Sunday on their social media handles. Aidy comes in with a huge amount of experience and has played an instrumental role in the success of many clubs in England.

The veteran recently worked with Football Association (TheFA) in order to manage the England youth teams. Boothroyd is delighted to join hands with Jamshedpur FC and wants to take the club to new heights in the upcoming seasons.

He said, “Jamshedpur FC are the Champions of India currently and the city has a tremendous football legacy. We want to continue this upward trajectory and make the club reach places and win honors that our fans are dreaming of. We want to take the club to the next level and to compete really with the top teams of Asia. In order to do that, we have to be able to evolve the team, continue developing our players, improve all departments, generate even more connections with our fans at the Furnace, recruit top, top talent along with the best people for this club to drive this project to that level. I am excited and honored to have been entrusted with the task.”

Boothroyd began his managerial career with Watford back in 2005 when he was only 34 years old. He was able to hit the ground running as Watford was promoted to the Premier League in the 2005-06 season. Thus, he has more than 17 years of experience in the field and knows how to get the best out of his players.

Furthermore, Boothroyd has played a key role in developing England players like Ben Chilwell, Calum Hudson-Odoi, Trent Alexander Arnold, Tammy Abraha, Mason Mount, Jordan Pickford, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Chanakya Chaudhary, Jamshedpur FC Chairman and Vice President Corporate Services Tata Steel said after Boothroyd’s appointment, “Aidy comes with a tremendous track record and with phenomenal experience in football at the top level. His ambitions are well-aligned with our vision of the club. He has been known to develop young players with an eye to spot the best talent as well. His winning mentality and football philosophy made his appointment an easy decision. The Jharkhand community has been supporting the beautiful game for a long time, evident from the ongoing Jamshedpur Sporting Association League which is over 75 years old, and we are sure this huge fan base will be delighted with the appointment.”

Boothroyd is also happy with the facilities at the club as he said, “The club has its robust foundations in place, with its grassroots setup along with the historic and highly acclaimed Tata Football Academy. The club has created the required infrastructure over the years to ensure continued success with a fantastic training facility at par with some of those in the top footballing nations.”
