ISL: Jamshedpur FC extend head coach Khalid Jamil’s contract for two years

Jamshedpur FC has extended head coach Khalid Jamil’s contract by two years. Jamil will stay with the Men of Steel until the end of the 2025-26 season. The 47-year-old took over the coaching baton from former coach Scott Cooper in the middle of the previous season.

Jamil managed Jamshedpur FC in 10 games, winning three and drawing as many. Furthermore, under Jamil’s tutelage, Jamshedpur FC reached the semifinals of the Kalinga Super Cup by winning all three league stage matches.

“I’m excited, grateful, and really happy today,” Jamil reacted after signing the extension.

Jamil gave his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support and said they want to win the ISL for their supporters.

“We want to win the ISL. Our fans deserve it for the tremendous support they show every time. We are forming a team that will give their all to achieve this in every training session and match, both (for) players and staff. When I spoke to the club management, we had a common vision of how we wanted to build from the last season and address the shortcomings. Jamshedpur FC has an amazing fan base with a huge legacy of football with the Tata Football Academy and the JSA League, which is now almost 80 years old,” the head coach remarked.

“We want to leverage this legacy and take the club by performing consistently in ISL, which is what the club deserves. We have to work hard every day, improve, and perform,” the I-League Best Coach Award 2016-17 winner, Jamil, continued.

Jamshedpur FC’s CEO, Mukul Choudhari also expressed his delight upon extending Jamil’s contract.

On Jamil’s extension, Jamshedpur FC’s CEO, Mukul Choudhari, said, “We are delighted to have retained Khalid (Jamil) as our head coach. His involvement provides stability and clarity for the future and helps us all move forward together effectively.

“Jamil’s track record matches with our aspirations. His understanding of the game, exhaustive experience, thorough understanding of Indian football, man management, commitment, and passion have translated into stellar achievements for an Indian coach and a matter of pride for our country. We are already working hard on all the preparations for the upcoming ISL season, with Khalid (Jamil) the right person to take the club forward,” he further added.
