#1 A coach with prior Indian experience
Robert Jarni was a Croatian coach not prepared for an Indian challenge. The tactician had a terrible season reaching nowhere near his predecessor. In the transition phase of the league, with even the structure to undergo major revamps, a coach with a prior acquaintance of Indian football would be the perfect fit for NorthEast United.

Eelco Schattorie, with a previous stint at East Bengal, was a never-before success at the club. Interestingly, the team have never appointed a full-time coach with prior Indian experience other than Schattorie.
If a gaffer with proven past in the Indian football circuit takes over, he would be able to settle in with ease. Minute details from pre-season and player recruitment to tight fixtures would be expected and prepared by an experienced appointee.
Hyderabad FC, who had sacked Phil Brown due to poor results were quick to act by securing the signature of Albert Roca. Similarly, NorthEast United too have to tackle time to get an apt successor for Jarni. Ashley Westwood, former Bengaluru FC head coach, looks a suitable candidate for the hot-seat in the NorthEast region.
