Coppell's departure from Kerala Blaster earlier this month meant that one of the most successful ISL head coaches was unattached, and Tata Steel's new franchise based out of Jamshedpur quickly jumped at the chance to hire the ex-Reading manager.

The 62-year-old will have Ishfaq Ahmed in the Jamshedpur dugout beside him this season, a continuation of the partnership that paid dividends for Kerala Blasters last year. Should Tata Jamshedpur mount a surprise title challenge in the forthcoming ISL, Coppell will have a lot to do with it.

Following are the key stats of his managerial career:

Nationality: English

Matches as manager/head coach: 416

Wins: 167

Draws: 107

Losses: 142

Points per game won: 1.46

Win percentage: 40 percent
