Want to make most of my stint at Jamshedpur FC – Khalid Jamil

Jamshedpur FC head coach Khalid Jamil wants to make the most of his stint at the club. The club is currently in 10th place in the Indian Super League 2023-24 with two wins in 12 matches. The Red Miners have a total of nine points under their belt and thus they will need to turn the tables in the second phase of the tournament.

Jamil recently led the club to the semifinal of the Kalinga Super Cup but they lost to eventual champions East Bengal FC.

Speaking in an interview with the ISL official website, “I am honoured that I was given this chance and it’s a pleasure to be the head coach of Jamshedpur FC. It is always good to be back against (in the ISL). Now that I have got this chance, I want to make the most of it. My target is to do well, lead the team well and motivate the players. We want to start the second half of the season strongly.”

Assessing his squad, Jamil said that the players are good and they are working hard in the training sessions.

He added, “The players are good. We have experienced as well as young Indian players. The foreigners are good too. It’s a good mix. After joining I didn’t say a lot of things. I wanted to keep things simple. I want the players to play their natural game. I have motivated the players and the results that we have got in the Kalinga Super Cup are down to the players we have. We need to have confidence and must play as a team.”

Speaking on the challenges while taking up the reins in the middle of the season, Jamil said he didn’t make a lot of changes to the squad.

He concluded, “I didn’t have to make too many changes, to be honest. I have given everyone a chance and rotated the squad during the Kalinga Super Cup. I wanted to motivate everyone by showing them that anyone can get a chance to play. The second thing I told the team is not to take pressure. It’s important to enjoy and play your natural game.”

Jamshedpur FC will resume their ISL campaign against NorthEast United FC in Jamshedpur on 31st January.
