Ashley Westwood is set to become the new head coach of Rounglass Punjab. The club parted ways with Curtis Fleming last season.
“Ashley Westwood is likely to become the new head coach of Roundglass Punjab. The club also interviewed the coaches like Gerard Nus and Kibu Vicuna,” a source close to the development informed IFTWC.
Ashley Westwood was appointed as the first-ever head coach of Bengaluru FC in 2013 after the club’s foundation. Under Ashley, Bengaluru FC won the I-League in their debut season. In the following season, they were set to defend their title but were denied by a late equalizer by Mohun Bagan, but they managed to win the Federation Cup. Westwood continued his successful stint with the club as they clinched the I-League again in 2016.
After parting ways with Bengaluru FC, Ashley had a stint with Penang FA, a club from Malaysia Super League. He returned to India after he was appointed as the director of football of ATK. After the sacking of Teddy Sheringham, the 44-year-old English coach was appointed as the head coach, but he only lasted for 7 games as they managed to get only 1 point.
Ashley hasn’t managed any club after leaving ATK but has been following Indian Football as he has appeared on Star Sports as an expert on quite a few occasions. Roundglass Punjab are set to make a statement with the appointment of Ashly Westwood.
