Raman Vijayan named Gokulam Kerala women's team head coach
Raman Vijayan (right) with N Sivasakthi CHENNAI: Former India men's international Raman Vijayan has forayed into women's football. Vijayan was on Wednesday appointed the head coach of three-time Indian Women's League (IWL) champions Gokulam Kerala FC. While ending Gokulam's IWL trophy wait is high on the Tamil Nadu man's agenda – they finished runners-up in the last two seasons – he is approaching the task with a broader view. The upcoming IWL season is likely to run from September to January. 'Every management recruits a coach with the target of winning a title, so it (bagging the IWL trophy) is the primary goal. But I am looking beyond that,' Vijayan, who last served as the assistant coach of Indian Super League (ISL) club Chennaiyin FC, told TOI. 'In the last few years, teams with good squads went on to win the IWL; the results were based on the strength of the squads. I would like to create a difference there. I want to play an attacking brand of football irrespective of the personnel we have. People must look at our team and say: 'Can girls deliver such a style?' I will put in all the effort to achieve it. To get there, support from the club and continuity are important,' said the former India forward. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Lợi ích khi giao dịch CFD Bitcoin IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Vijayan's lack of coaching experience in women's football is not proving to be a hindrance as he strives to turn into a 'trend-setter'. Add to it the fact that he will be the chief coach of a top-level team for the first time in his career. 'My ambition is to deliver proper football; more than winning titles and matches, I want to introduce a trend that Indian women's football has never seen. It should help Indian football on the whole as well; I want to create a team from which about five players can go and play for the national team in the future,' added Vijayan. On why he chose to venture into the women's game, Vijayan said: 'I had offers to become an assistant coach again, but I decided that I would only take up head coach's role upon returning from a break (he was away since the end of the 2023-24 season). I was fine with the I-League or IWL. Indian women's football has been on the rise recently, so I felt that it was the right time to take up a role in the IWL.'

The NBA player has signed a lucrative five-year, $251 million contract in 2022, which included a no-trade clause, and he has two years left on it. Bradley Beal utilized his no-trade clause to block clubs he didn't want to join when Phoenix Sun attempted to deal him. As a result, the team was forced to honor his big contract. Now, recently, the player and the Phoenix Suns reached an agreement on a contract buyout on July 16, 2025. Of the remaining $110 million, he forfeited roughly $13.9 million in order to be released. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo The "waive-and-stretch" technique was employed by the team.
