Former Dutch international Wim Koevermans, who was a member of the squad that won the 1998 European Championship, has been named India's new national football coach.
The All India Football Federation made the announcement at a press conference on Friday.
Koevermans, 51, takes over from Indian coaches Armando Colaco and Savio Medeira, who held the job after Englishman Bob Houghton's stint ended more than a year ago.
Koevermans, who has previously coached Dutch clubs including N.E.C. Nijmegen, R.B.C. Roosendaal and M.V.V. Maastricht, has been given an initial contract of two years.
