Goa's Francisco Bruto Da Costa has secured a unique honour of clearing the Asian Football Confederation Professional Coaching Diploma course in the AFC Coach Asia Batch 2014/15, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) announced on Monday.
The AFC Professional Coaching Diploma Course is a five module programme engineered to tutor the participants in the modern trends of football, making it imperative for development of a coach.
Congratulating Francisco, AIFF’s technical director Scott O’Donell said, “My best wishes to Francisco and I wish him all the very best in his professional coaching career ahead. Successfully completing the course will broaden his coaching philosophy and help him become a better coach.
“The AFC Coach Asia Course provided Francisco with great opportunities to learn from some excellent coach educators such as AFC technical director Andy Roxburgh and Richard Bate. Now he must transfer what he has learnt to the talented players he is currently working with in India,” O'Donell added.
“I would like to thank AFC for this initiative and look forward to having more participation from Indian coaches in the future,” he concluded.
