Former Indian football captain Victor Amalraj has expressed that it is better to have one single National league instead of having both the ISL and the I-League.
“I believe one league will do a lot of good to Indian football. It will ensure the players have a common platform to showcase their skills,” Amalraj said during an online chat on Sunday.
He welcomed the decision of allowing three foreigners and one Asian player per ISL club. However, he stated that it was crucial to ensure that the best of talent from across the country gets to play in the league.
“Similarly, it is disappointing that there is not even one Indian coach for any of the ISL teams. So, I feel it should be mandatory to have an Indian at least as assistant coach to help Indian football standards improve,” he said.
