Coaching career

On 3 July 2012, it was announced that Pereira had become coach of Air India FC after Santosh Kashyap joined Mohun Bagan.[1] Earlier in his playing career, Pereira played for the India national football team.[2] He coached his first match for Air India on 26 August 2012 during the 2012 Durand Cup against Delhi United FC, in which Air India won 3–0.[3] Then on 1 September 2012 Pereira led Air India to their first ever championship in their history after they won 3–2 on penalties against Dodsal F.C. in the final of the Durand Cup.[4]

On 27 December 2012, with Air India in 10th place in the I-League, Pereira officially resigned from his post as the head coach of the club, citing salary issues as the reason for his resigning.[5]

gollark: Lots of these things just dump all notes in a folder of plaintext files and use git for sync/revision control, but I feel like this is a horrible system which is prone to badness.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
gollark: Currently "my notes" means "the DokuWiki data folder", which is not actually that much use since I can't access it concurrently without breaking things, meaning to make edits I have to suffer the latency back to the main osmarksßservers.
gollark: The memeCLOUD™ is part of the part of my data collection which gets synchronized onto most of my available stuff, which includes my notes, archived webpages/PDFs, various public content, ebooks, and music, but *not* video media.
gollark: 128GB on my laptop, foolishly.
