"I cannot guarantee that my team will become champions but I can promise you that we will put up our 100 per cent in ISL season commencing in November," Coppell, who had coached Kerala Blasters FC to the final of ISL in last season, said in his first media interaction at his new franchise.
Jamshedpur FC and Bengaluru FC are the two new franchises of ISL which will be a longer affair this time than the earlier two and a half month slot, with 10 teams in season four.
Jamshedpur FC are in talks with Spaniard Tiri and South African midfielder Sameehg Doutie, the two ISL winners for ATK last season.
"The negotiations were on," Tata Steel vice-president (corporate services) Sunil Bhaskaran said.
Jamshedpur FC's full team will be known after the recruitments of foreigners and the training will begin in the first week of October, he said.
Jamshedpur FC will train at the Tata Football Academy ground while JRD Tata Sports complex will be their home venue for nine matches.
"The practice would be held in a world-class ground from next season. We have identified two locations for the purpose and would developed as best practice ground at par with any ground in the country," he said.
