Debjit
Ghosh,
a
former
Indian
football
team
captain,
made
a
scathing
attack
on
Stimac
on
Wednesday
(March
15),
expressing
his
grievance
against
Stimac’s
selection
policy
for
the
Indian
football
team.
The
Indian
football
team
is
set
to
play
a
Tri-Nation
tournament
in
March
during
the
international
football
break.
The
Indian
coach
Igor
Stimac
selected
his
team
for
the
tournament
and
the
lack
of
players
from
ATK
Mohun
Bagan
has
irked
Ghosh,
who
raised
his
voice
against
the
baffling
selection
policy
of
the
Indian
coach.
Ghosh,
who
has
played
16
matches
for
India
from
1997
to
2006,
took
to
his
social
media
and
wrote
a
passionate
rant
against
Stimac,
for
not
selecting
Pritam
Kotal
and
Vishal
Kaith
for
the
upcoming
matches.
Kotal
and
Kaith
both
play
for
ATK
Mohun
Bagan
and
have
been
stellar
performers
for
the
ISL
club.
The
Mariners
will
meet
Bengaluru
FC
in
the
final
of
the
ISL
and
the
duo
have
been
two
standout
performers
for
the
Kolkata
giants.
And
their
omission
has
shocked
Ghosh,
to
say
the
least.
“Igor
Stimac
has
been
turned
out
to
be
a
laughing
stock.
This
is
ridiculous!
The
two
most
in-form
players
of
the
season
–
Pritam
Kotal
and
Vishal
Kaith
have
been
left
out
from
the
Indian
national
team,”
Ghosh
wrote.
Ghosh
went
on
to
question
the
overwhelming
numbers
of
Bengaluru
FC
players
in
the
team
and
termed
Stimac
as
a
disgrace,
urging
the
fans
to
raise
their
voices
against
the
Croatian.
“No
offence,
but
I
really
got
confused
if
it
was
Bengaluru
FC
team
(8
players
in
National
Team)
or
the
Indian
national
team.
I
believe
Mr.
Stimac
has
been
considering
his
job
as
a
holiday
package
in
India
and
nothing
else.
Shame,”
he
continued.
It’s
time
to
raise
your
voice
????if
you
are
an
#IndianFootball
fan…
@stimac_igor
is
a
disgrace!

His
offensive
rant
against
Igor
Stimac
is
not
a
bolt
from
the
blue
though
as
the
Croatian
manager
has
been
criticised
for
India’s
lack
of
progress
during
his
tenure.
The
former
Croatia
international
took
the
Indian
national
team
job
in
2019
and
has
only
a
30
per
cent
winning
rate.
Under
his
tutelage,
India
have
only
9
wins
out
of
30
games.
