Baan would stay responsible for drafting an Indian Football Masterplan. He was earlier involved in similar capacity with the Australian Football Federation.\n<\/p>\n<p>The All India Football President Praful Patel welcomed Baan\u2019s appointment. \u201cThis is definitely the most important initiative undertaken by the AIFF jointly with FIFA and OSF for grassroot and youth development of Indian Football. I am confident that the appointment of the Technical Director along with establishing Regional and Elite Academies will go a long way in taking Indian Football to a new level.\u201d Kushal Das, the General Secretary of the AIFF feels this is a step in the right direction. \u201cWe are very pleased with the appointment of our new Technical Director Mr. Rob<\/p>\n<p>Baan as part of our master agreement with Orange Sports Forum. Mr. Baan will be responsible for structuring the development plan jointly with FIFA and laying the philosophy of Indian football for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAIFF aims to establish four Regional Football Academies and one Elite Academy by 31st March 2012. These Academies will be developed with Technical Support from FIFA, Philips and PSV. Mr. Baan will work closely with AIFF\/FIFA, PSV and Philips to get the best possible structure and design of the Academies to achieve optimal results as quickly as possible. We trust that over the next few years the level of our National squads will improve significantly as will our FIFA ranking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baan thanked the AIFF for giving him the chance to serve Indian football. \u201cIt is fantastic that AIFF has given me the chance to use my year-long expertise in India. Recent research reports have shown that football is a sport with huge potential in India. With its dazzling 1.2 billion people, rich history and culture India is a sleeping giant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the next two years I will work hard together with PSV and AIFF to lay the groundwork for the future of Indian football. I see it as my job to create the right conditions based on the Dutch school but with a strong Indian signature,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Baan will be taking over his new post from November 1, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>New Delhi: <\/strong>The All India Football Federation has signed a two-year deal with Rob Baan as the new Technical Director of the AlFF.
