"I decided to hang up my boots from East Bengal when 2001 season came to an end. After 6-7 months I got a call from Tata Football Academy saying that they wanted me to help out the youngsters in their academy set-up. They told me that the experience I gained from playing at the highest level would help immensely to properly guide the youngsters and mould them into successful football players. “Tata Group” was the only big company during those days that was willing to pay a lot of money for the development of football in India. So I decided to take up the job of coaching India’s potential talents."
