For Tomasz Tchorz, Indian football has been a journey of constant learning, taking him from Kolkata to Kerala and now Delhi, through roles as an assistant coach, club adviser, academy and reserve-team builder, and first-team head coach. Now in his second season with SC Delhi, the Polish tactician is focused on translating those experiences into a clear vision for the club’s future. “I have been working in India for, I think, my eighth season, so it has definitely been a long time. I have worked in three places: Kolkata, Kerala and now Delhi. I would say I have experienced all the crucial roles.
Every moment, every club and every role was a little different, and I learned a lot from each of them,” says Tchorz.
Now in his second season with SC Delhi, head coach Tomasz Tchorz is focused on translating those experiences into a clear vision for the club’s future.
Delhi presents a new opportunity to strengthen the bond between the club, its supporters and the city. His attacking approach has resonated with fans, with SC Delhi recording some of its highest-ever stadium attendances in the ongoing Indian Super League season. “We are still in the process of building a strong culture here. Delhi is a unique city, with people from different parts of the country coming together, including within our team and among our supporters. Tchorz’s first experience as a head coach at the highest level came in an interim capacity at Kerala Blasters, where he found an experienced dressing room willing to work with him during a difficult period. Having followed SC Delhi since last season, he now sees an opportunity to strengthen the club’s footballing foundations, build a competitive environment and establish a shared vision for sustained progress. I have been focused on identifying ways to maximise the potential of the club and create an environment where we can continue to grow. For Tchorz, the focus is on building a distinct identity for SC Delhi through attacking football, a winning mentality and a stronger connection with its supporters. The aim is to translate this vision into sustained success and establish the club as a team that Delhi can take pride in.
I see that as an opportunity to bring everyone together through the club and create a shared sense of belonging, where SC Delhi becomes something they can truly identify with,” he says. Reflecting on the club’s journey, he says, “There is a great opportunity to develop a strong culture of competitive football at SC Delhi, both on the pitch and in the structures surrounding the game.
