The Swede remained in charge of the Indian team despite the technical committee of the All India Football Federation recommending Anthony Andrews as the senior team coach.
“What we have to do now is, first of all, probably raise the fitness level again, which includes conditioning training, strength training. And then, of course, technically, tactically, and let the players play a lot together. So, everyone is 100% sure what to do on the field,” Dennerby told the AIFF website.
“We have eight weeks before the Asian Games, and I think this time will be good for us. Also, we have picked a lot of players this time. So, hopefully, we also can find out which players are best for the moment because that is also very important.”
With a packed schedule ahead, the Indian football calendar for the women’s team ahead of the 2023-24 season is as follows:
