Blue Tigers' assistant coach Venkatesh Shanmugam will lead the Blue Colts along with Indian Arrows for the upcoming season.
The AIFF Technical Committee under the Chairmanship of Mr. Shyam Thapa met at AIFF Headquarters, the Football House November 29, 2019. The Head Coach of the Indian U-19 National Team Floyd Pinto presented a detailed report explaining the reason for the disappointing performance in the AFC U-19 Qualifiers in Saudi Arabia. The Committee members felt that the current Assistant Coach of the Indian National Senior Team Shanmugam Venkatesh should take over as the Head Coach of the Indian Arrows and the U-19 National Team for the 2019-20 season, as that would enable the smooth transition of the Indian Arrows players into the Senior Team.
