The coach of the Pailan Arrows is due to leave the team at the end of the season, with offers reportedly pouring in from all corners of the country

The work of Australian coach Arthur Papas at I-League club and India Under-23 team Palian Arrows seems set to lead to a high-profile job offer.

Having announced he would be leaving the All India Football Federation (AIFF) developmental side at the end of the season, the Indian FA have moved quickly to to keep Papas in India.

The federation has offered Papas the roles of India's U-17, Under-19 and Under-22, while he would also be assisting technical director Rob Baan in his implementation of youth development programs at I-League clubs as part of the Asian Football Confederation licensing criteria.

The former Newcastle Jets assistant coach is rumoured to be on the wish list of at least four I-League clubs, two of which are from Goa. One of these clubs is believed to have given the Australian a definite offer to which he will have to decide on soon.

"There is a strong possibility that Papas could become the national coach for all our age group teams, based in Goa," AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das told The Telegraph on Wednesday.

"He does not want to continue with Arrows anymore. Therefore, we have decided to offer him a bigger role."

Papas is considered one of the finest foreign coaches in the country, having moved to India from the Jets in May 2012.
