Bengaluru FC appoint Jan van Loon as Head of Youth Development

Bengaluru, July 26 (UNI) Bengaluru FC have appointed Dutchman Jan van Loon as the Blues’ new Head of Youth Development, the club announced on Tuesday. The 56-year-old, who started his career as a Youth Coach and Coordinator at PSV Eindhoven alongside Guus Hiddink, has held various positions in the Youth Development programs at FC Utrecht and Arsenal FC among other clubs.

“It excites me that India has a growing interest in football, and that I can be part of that movement. I want to contribute to the process of bringing India higher on the FIFA Ranking list, and the way to do that is to create players who can represent the National Team of India. We want the players who are between 12 and 18 years of age to take the next step, and make sure they succeed. The bar is set high, and I think we can make a program where players and coaches develop together,” said van Loon.
