The All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Friday began the process to find a new head coach for its under-fire men's national team, setting July 13 as the last date for interested applicants, who must have at least 10 years of experience and "cultural sensitivity" among other qualifications.

AIFF opens applications for new men's head coach

The process has been necessitated by the departure of Spaniard Manolo Marquez from the position.

The 56-year-old parted ways on mutually agreeable terms with the AIFF after a string of poor results by the team. He had taken over just last year and had an entire year left on his contract.

"The 'Head Coach - Senior Men's National Team' will report to the AIFF Secretary General and is accountable for the performance of the team in all matches and competitions it participates in during the term of the coach's contract," the AIFF stated on its website and added that the duration and remuneration for the new appointee will be decided later.
