Wim Koevermans to take over as chief coach of Indian football team

Former Dutch international Wim Koevermans is all set to take over as the chief coach of the Indian football team for a two-year term, ending a more than a year's search for a full-fledged occupant for the top job. Following All India Football Federation's sacking of Englishman Bob Houghton early last year, Armando Colaco and Savio Medeira — whose contract expires on May 31 — were given short stints, but they failed to yield much success. PTI quotes AIFF vice-president A R Khaleel as saying that Koevermans' appointment will be approved by the Executive Committee early next month and the Dutchman will take charge soon after that.
