Mumbai, Feb 7 (IBNS): The AIFF has extended the contract of national football team coach Stephen Constantine.
The extension was performed on the basis of his performance, AIFF said.
"The AIFF Technical Committee chaired by Mr. Shyam Thapa held today (February 07, 2018) in Mumbai, unanimously agreed to offer an extension of contract to Stephen Constantine based on his performance," read a statement issued by the AIFF.
"The members felt that the Indian Senior National Men's team met the dual strategic objectives of AIFF by qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup 2019 as well as by consistently achieving a top 15 FIFA ranking amongst Asian countries in the recent past.

The AIFF said the recommendation of the Technical Committee as above shall be forwarded to the AIFF Executive Committee for their final approval.
