Gokulam Kerala appoint Gift Raikhan as technical director
The 37-year-old tactician had recently parted company with fellow I-League side Aizawl FC.
Former Aizawl FC and NEROCA FC coach Gift Raikhan has been appointed as the technical director of Gokulam Kerala FC on Saturday. Raikhan, who has immense coaching experience, will oversee the overall sporting activities at the club.
Raikhan led NEROCA FC to the top fight from the I-League second division and helped them finish in the second position in the 2017-18 season. The coach then joined Aizawl FC but ended the contract mutually before joining Gokulam Kerala FC.
Raikhan, who was a former player with Churchill Brothers, Vasco FC, HAL and Pune FC, began his coaching career with the youth team of Pune FC. He soon became the assistant coach of the first team and later joined his home city club NEROCA FC.
