Former Middlesbrough coach Curtis Fleming 'set for India move to take over at I-League side Punjab FC'

Former Middlesbrough first-team coach Curtis Fleming is set for a move to India to become the head coach of Punjab FC, according to Goal.

The move is set to represent the former Republic of Ireland international's first coaching stint outside the British Isles.

The 51-year-old tactician started his coaching career at Crystal Palace and was made interim boss in 2012 following the departure of Dougie Freedman from Selhurst Park, having already been a development and first-team coach at the club.

However, four months down the line he would leave Palace and move on to Bolton as first-team coach to reunite and play second fiddle to Freedman once more.
