The revered Indian football coach, who spearheaded East Bengal's ASEAN Cup triumph in 2003, was seen training the coaches in a six-session module concluding on Saturday.

"I've goosebumps, whenever there's a talk about football. I can talk hours on football, it's my passion," Bhowmick, who coached East Bengal to successive National league titles and replicated the success with Churchill Brothers, told PTI.

"So the idea (of online coaching) really touched me and I thought this is the way forward in this challenging times."
"In our country, most of the coaching camps stress on running, running and running. They are preparing runners. They rarely teaching ball skills. I shared whatever material I had on how to dribble and football passing."
