Gift Raikhan

The second division-winning coach Gift Raikhan impressed everyone with nearly making it two top level title in two years. Manipuri side NEROCA FC were in their first season in the I-League and got off to a strong start. But a couple of poor results had them slip away from the pole position and ended as runners-up on their debut season. Although he has not denied continuing at NEROCA FC, possessing an AFC ‘A’ licence certainly makes him eligible for any I-League club. And after making NEROCA FC the first club Manipur enter the I-League via promotion, Gift Raikhan has added value to his experience and makes him a hot prospect to land a good deal in the coming season.
