Indian Football Chaos: Marquez Quits, AIFF Still Unbothered? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G Indian football is in crisis — again. Head Coach Manolo Marquez has stepped down after just eight matches in charge, ending the shortest managerial stint in over a decade. Despite a stellar track record with FC Goa, Marquez's dual role and the All-India Football Federation's (AIFF) mismanagement turned a promising chapter into a familiar disaster. With just one win under his belt and mounting fan frustration after losses like the one to Hong Kong, the federation continues to deflect blame and boast of a vague 10-year vision. Meanwhile, the Indian Super League — the nation's premier competition — has been abruptly dropped from the next season’s roster due to legal issues. There’s still no replacement for Marquez, and AIFF’s slow, bureaucratic approach shows just how disconnected they are from the urgent needs of Indian football. Rupha Ramani breaks down why the real problem isn’t on the pitch — it’s in the boardroom. --- India | Football | Head Coach | Manolo Marquez | Resigns | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #india #football #manolomarquez #firstsports #rupharamani #sportsnews #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
