Trailblazing Maymol Rocky wants to see more women coaches in India

The women's national team coach outlines her journey so far and the analyses the impact the U17 Women's World Cup could have in the country....

As far as trailblazers go, Maymol Rocky is right up there. The first ever female head coach of the Indian national women's football team is not a title you achieve without breaking a few ceilings.

The 39-year-old scripted history when she was handed over the reins of the Indian women's team in 2017. And she has done a good job so far.

India won the 2019 SAFF Women’s Championship under Maymol with an impressive record of winning all four games, scoring 18 and conceding just one.
