NorthEast United endured a difficult outing at home against FC Goa, going down 2-0, but its coach on the touchline, Amogh Adige, entered the record books as the youngest to take charge of an Indian Super League club on an official matchday.

Head coach Juan Pedro Benali was unavailable after being sent off during the match against Mohun Bagan, and duties were taken over by the 25-year-old, who has previously worked with the India Under-23 team.

Amogh holds both the UEFA ‘A’ and UEFA Elite Youth ‘A’ licences and, on Friday, went past Noel Joseph’s record (27 years) to become the youngest coach to manage an ISL side.
