The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has confirmed the appointment of Stephen Constantine as the Head Coach of the Indian senior men’s national team. Constantine will also be in charge of the India U-23 national team.

He is expected to take charge from the first week of February 2015.

Constantine was at the helm of the Indian national team from 2002 till 2005, during which they won the LG Cup in Vietnam and finished runners-up in the Afro-Asian Games.

Constantine was most recently the coach of the Rwanda National Team. The Englishman guided the Africans to their highest-ever world ranking of 68 in last month’s FIFA World Ranking.
