'Resigned As India Head Coach In April But...': Manolo Marquez's Big Revelation
Former India men's football head coach Manolo Marquez has revealed he wanted to step down from his post in April but was asked to extend his stay by a few months by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). The Spaniard was appointed head coach after the fiery exit of previous head coach Igor Stimac in 2024 and has gone on to lead the Blue Colts in eight games with only one win, a 3-0 victory over Maldives in a friendly. In the end, he left the post with a win percentage of just 13 per cent. "I resigned in April, but they asked me to do the June window, They tried to convince me for a month to continue at the head of the Indian national team. "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," Marquez told Spanish news outlet Marca. Marquez mutually parted ways with the AIFF after India's poor start to the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers as the Men in Blue played out a draw against Bangladesh in the opening game before an injury time goal in the 0-1 loss vs Hong Kong further added to their woes. Marquez also stated that poor results did affect his tenure, but they were not the reason he stepped away. "Coaching the Indian national team was the illusion of my life, but when you see that all teams do not play with 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 added. Marquez first landed in India ahead of the 2020-21 Indian Super League season to take charge of Hyderabad FC, where he won the Indian Super League title in 2022. In his three years with The Nizams, Marquez took charge of 74 games out of which he won 37 and drew 21. He went on to take the helm at FC Goa and led them to a Super Cup triumph. His time as FC Goa's head coach saw him become a dual manager, occupying head coach roles with both the national team and the ISL side as well. In 62 matches under Marquez, FC Goa has won 38 games with 12 losses and draws each.

I owe my best roles to south Indian cinema, says Genelia D'Souza
Actress Genelia D'Souza, who began her film career in Hindi cinema, has expressed her deep appreciation for the South Indian film industry. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan during the promotions of her upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, Genelia clarified misconceptions about her association with South Indian films. Responding to a question about whether she missed out on good roles in the South, Genelia said it would be wrong to say that South Indian films did not offer her meaningful characters. "In Hyderabad, I am known as Hasini for my role in Bommarillu. For the Tamil industry, I am known as Harini for my role in Boys, and in Kerala, I am known as Arackal Ayesha for my role in the Malayalam film Urumi,' she said. 'All the good roles I played are from the South Indian film industry, and I am blessed to have received such opportunities. I am thankful to the South Indian film industry for giving me a chance to work with them,' she added. The actress also touched upon the criticism she sometimes faces for her choice of roles in recent films. "Some people even judge me for the roles I played in new films," she said. Genelia, who has built a strong fan base across various film industries, continues to be celebrated for her memorable performances, especially in the South.
