Jaison White lands up in Churchill Bros camp >From Armstrong Vaz Margao Sept 14: Englishman by birth and Thailand citizen Jaison White was impressed by what he saw on his first day at the Churchill Brothers camp. Jaison White monitored each and every movement and every move and counter move that the Churchill Brothers players made on Wednesday morning at Varca grounds.
It was the first day in office and a first insight into the football talents at offer at the Churchill Bros camp. Jaison was having a first feel of Indian football from close quarters. His feedback of Indian football had come from his good friend and the last foreign coach of the Indian football team, Stephen Constantine. "We are good friends," he informed while speaking to reporters at Ramada Hotel at Varca on Wednesday afternoon. Jaison has no immediate plans to join Churchill Bros. When asked to give the date of his joining the club, he pointed out that he would be busy with Indonesian national team looking after their fitness. Incidentally he informed that his father is the coach of the national team of Indonesia. He went on to inform that his father had been coach of the Thailand national team and now has been handed over the national assignment of Indonesian team. The Indonesian team will be involved in an Asian country level competition which will get over in November this year and the next possible date of which joining the Churchill Bros club would be in the month of December. He informed that his last contract with a Thai club ended three months back. On opting out of Thail football and for looking at an opening in India, Jaison, who was flanked by his wife, declared that he wanted "to move on and take up new challenges". "The Churchill Brothers assignment is a new challenge to me and I am looking at a three year agreement with the club," he added. On Churchill Bros team he has this to say, "Churchill Brothers is a young outfit. We are looking for foreign players in the right positions. Indian football players are good in physical aspects and can be molded into top flight players." Jaison is on a first visit to India and had been earlier to Pakistan and Nepal along with the Thail club. He informed that he saw the national Indian team play only once in Thailand two years and that was the only time he saw the Indian players in action. His coaching career, he disclosed, started at a young age of 18 when he was just playing his competitive football and added that his competitive football ended after an injury to his leg. Like his friend Stephen Constantine, he too is undergoing his UEFA pro license coaching course, which he informed will end in June 2006 and also added that at the same time his FA fitness coaching course will end in June 2006. On foreign players known to him making it into the Churchill Bros camp, he informed that he will get in touch with the players agent in Thailand and get back to the Goan club. ENDS
