The former Mohun Bagan coach has been appointed as a member of the All India Football Federation (AIFF) Technical Committee last month. The eight-member body will now be headed by Shyam Thapa after former skipper Bhaichung Bhutia was not favoured for re-appointment.

Now we should play the middle-eastern teams. The more you play against the likes of Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and UAE, the more you will understand the difference and get to know where we really stand as a footballing nation," said the 1984 Asian Cupper.
