Indian defender Sandesh Jhingan said that he will do everything he can to help India get to the World Cup as a coach if he is not able to do so in his playing career. The 26-year-old centre back has been a mainstay of the Indian team for much of the past decade.

"We have to have that dream to be in the World Cup, and it is a dream I also have," Jhingan told FIFA.com. "It is something I want to achieve like crazy before I hang up my boots. If I don't achieve it as a player, I will do everything I can to help India qualify by coaching."
