Because Football and cricket are different type of sports.

 

Tell me a single tactical decision a football captain has to take during the field of play.

 

Everything will be dictated by the coach .That's why coach /manager role is more prominent.

 

Even then ,coach is regularly sacked once they lose the dr swing room in football.

^ Football is very tactical game. Coach can decide to attack, park the bus, attack on counter, retain the ball type game and various formations depending on requirement. And he maintains a lot bigger squad in which there are very few irreplaceable players. Apart from fielding, I find cricket quite close to being a individual performance based sports.

 

In Cricket, its Captain who makes decisions in the middle. In footie its Coach who makes decision for the ones in middle.

 

Hence you can not compare the managers of two. IPL which is very intensive can be slightly closer to Manager driven sport.

Okay thats fine, then why do we need coaches for international teams. The way its going there is no need. The captain and his players are professional enough and of international standard to decide the strategy and plans on field without needing a dummy coach.

Coaches are needed as players can't sit out and analyse their game.

Long shot I know. But given the circumstances, why not Lalchand Rajput? He has been around enough to know how to organize a preparation at the highest level, he is not a big star himself, and knows how to interact with top players. So no clashing egos and a good support system for the players. Finally, for the moneybags, I bet he would cheaper to hire than,say, Tom Moody.

In the wake of Anil Kumble's withdrawal from the race, the BCCI has decided to invite fresh applications to pick India's next head coach. The advertisement is likely to be out on Saturday. The new candidates will join the five already shortlisted candidates comprising Virender Sehwag, Tom Moody, Lalchand Rajput, Richard Pybus and Dodda Ganesh. The last date for submission of applications has been extended to July 9.

The final shortlist will be then sent to the three-man cricket advisory committee comprising Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, who will conduct interviews before sending their final choice to the BCCI. It is understood that the BCCI would ideally want the new coach to be in place in time for India's tour of Sri Lanka, which his likely to start from July 19. But if the CAC is unable to make a choice by then, the BCCI is willing to wait longer.

According to a BCCI official the main reason behind inviting fresh applications was the thought that a number of eligible candidates may not have applied since Kumble himself had re-applied for the post when the BCCI opened the process on May 25. Kumble, who had been recommended and finalised as the best choice last year by the CAC, enjoyed a highly successful run in his one-year term.

Vinod Rai, the head of the Committee of Administrators overseeing the functioning of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, has called for cohesion within the Indian team, adding that the BCCI would find an ‘equally good professional’ as a replacement for Anil Kumble, who stepped down as the head coach of the national team earlier this week.
