'Resigned In April, But AIFF Asked Me To Stay Till June': Manolo Marquez Reveals Reasons Behind Departure
Last Updated: Former India football coach Manolo Marquez resigned in April, but the AIFF convinced him to stay until June. He led India in eight matches with only one win. Former India men's football head coach Manolo Marquez has revealed that he initially submitted his resignation in April, but the All India Football Federation (AIFF) persuaded him to extend his tenure for a few more months. The Spaniard took over the national team following the abrupt departure of Igor Stimac in early 2024. Marquez led India in eight matches during his brief stint, managing only one victory—a 3-0 win over the Maldives in a friendly encounter. His tenure came to an abrupt end after the AIFF Executive Committee, during its meeting in the national capital, agreed to relieve Marquez, despite having a year left in his contract. But, it has now been revealed by Marquez himself, that he desired to leave much earlier. 'I resigned in April, but they asked me to do it in the June window. They tried to convince me for a month to continue at the head of the Indian national team," Marquez said in an interview with Spanish outlet Marca. Marquez's exit came after India's underwhelming start to the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers. The Blue Tigers were held to a draw against Bangladesh in their opening game and suffered a last-minute 0-1 defeat to Hong Kong, thereby putting both the coach and the team under immense scrutiny. Despite the disappointing outcomes, Marquez emphasized that the poor results weren't the sole reason for his departure. 'I didn't want to leave because of the bad results. In fact, they tried to convince me for a month to continue. It seems that they have now accepted my initial decision," he added. 'Coaching the Indian national team was the dream of my life. But when you see that all teams do not play by the same rules, you feel that this is not your place." 'I admit that I have done things wrong, but if the results had improved, I would probably still be in office," he explained. Marquez first arrived in India ahead of the 2020–21 Indian Super League (ISL) season to take charge of Hyderabad FC, and under his leadership, they clinched the ISL title in 2022. Following his success with Hyderabad, Marquez took over as head coach of FC Goa, eventually leading them to a Super Cup, while also managing the national side in a dual role since early 2024.

Arsenal Women sign Taylor Hinds after contract expiry with Liverpool
Arsenal Women have signed Jamaican full-back Taylor Hinds on a permanent deal on Monday. The 26-year-old returns to Arsenal for her second spell with the Gunners, following the expiry of her contract with Liverpool. Taylor's Arsenal journey began with their academy at the age of 11 in 2010. Over the following seven years, Taylor showed strong progression through youth ranks, developing into a versatile player capable of playing at both full-back and in midfield. Taylor's break into the first team came in the 2017/18 season, making her debut from the bench in their 7-0 League Cup win over London Bees in October 2017. A full debut followed in a 5-2 defeat of Millwall Lionesses in the same competition the following month. Taylor joined Everton on a permanent transfer in January 2018, making 30 appearances and scoring one goal across two and a half seasons with the Toffees, before crossing Merseyside to join Liverpool in July 2020. The full-back played an integral role in Liverpool's Women's Championship title win in the 2021/22 season, becoming vice-captain in 2023 and helping the team secure a fourth-place WSL finish in 2023/24. In total, Taylor made 131 appearances in five seasons with Liverpool, scoring eight goals. Now a Jamaica international, Taylor represented England at youth level and represented England at both the U17 and U20 FIFA World Cups in 2016 and 2018 respectively. She received her first call-up to the Jamaica squad in October 2024, making her debut in a friendly against France that month. 'I'm so proud to have signed for Arsenal. I want to push, compete and be winning trophies – and this club encompasses all of that both on and off the pitch. You can see what direction Arsenal is going in and everyone at the club wants to win," Taylor said in a statement. 'This is a full-circle moment for me and I'm grateful to come back to a place I called home when I was younger. I can't wait to get started and to step out on the pitch at Emirates Stadium in front of all our incredible supporters," she added. Arsenal Women head coach Renee Slegers said, 'We're delighted to welcome Taylor back to Arsenal. She's a versatile player who has great experience from multiple seasons in the WSL with Liverpool, where she took on a leadership role. I'm excited to get started with Taylor on the training pitch and I'm sure our supporters will join me in welcoming Taylor back to the club.'
