Former Croatia captain and current FIFA deputy secretary general Zvonimir Boban Thursday said he was looking forward to ex-teammate Igor Stimac's tenure as Indian football head coach.
The 51-year-old Stimac, a former center back, was a part of Croatia's golden generation, led by Zvonimir Boban, Davor Suker and Robert Prosinecki, which peaked at the 1998 World Cup in France by finishing third.
"I would like to congratulate the Indian FA for appointing Igor Stimac as their national head coach. I know Igor from our childhood days and he is an experienced man, understand football," Boban said in a video posted by the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on twitter.
In the special message, Boban added, "He (Igor) is a football person very committed to his new job, obviously you never know what you are going to get from football. But I really hope you will achieve big things together, so all the best and looking forward to seeing you and see your great results with Igor."
