#3 The National Team Rankings

According to FIFA rankings, India ended 2014 at 171. Constantine joined in January 2015, leading India to 166 by the end of 2015 and the team is ranked 152 currently, which is one of the best rankings in the last 10 years for this team muddled by behind-the-field conundrums and political conspiracies.

Make no mistake, there’s a lot of money in Indian football and the future influx is also ensured, only the correct utilization was not being done before this recent revival. Constantine made sure the idea was right, and even more importantly, effective. Rankings shouldn’t be given a lot of importance, but sometimes, growth in numbers does speak for themselves, don’t they?
