Chennai, Jul 21 (PTI) Chennaiyin FC’s newly-appointed head coach Owen Coyle is thrilled to work with the young crop of domestic players, especially wingers, in the forthcoming 2023-24 season and said it was important to develop young Indian players as it would help the national team become better.

With only one current India international — Rahim Ali — part of the Chennaiyin set-up, Coyle, returning to the club that he guided to the Indian Super League 2019-20 final, has a tough job on his hands. But the Scotsman, who has been tasked with a rebuild, is enthused about developing youngsters and turning them into household names.

“Obviously, I can’t sit here and name names because there are players who I would love to bring to the football club. There are players at the club that I know, for example, I know Rahim, who is an outstanding player, and there are other young players who I have seen playing but I have not worked with.

“But when I get to work with them, I will see all their qualities. Hopefully I can help. Hopefully I can improve them, as I have done in my time in Indian football,” Coyle told
