Here’s our exclusive interview with India senior men’s national football team coach Igor Štimac in collaboration with Indian Food and Football.

Štimac takes us through his journey — from his introduction to Indian football to building the national team over the years.

The 56-year-old talks about the successful patch the Blue Tigers enjoyed last summer, including the Intercontinental Cup and SAFF Cup triumphs.

Most importantly, we discuss India’s approach ahead of the Asian Cup and the remaining 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Štimac also takes his pick between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and lots more!
