SC Delhi head coach Tchorz Tomasz says his second season at the helm presents a genuine opportunity to forge a competitive football culture at the club — on the pitch and in the structures around it. Speaking ahead of the new campaign, Tchorz outlined his philosophy, his evolution as a coach across three Indian clubs, and his vision for what SC Delhi can mean to the city.

Eight Seasons, Three Clubs, Every Key Role

Tchorz has built one of the more varied CVs in Indian club football. Having worked in Kolkata, Kerala, and now New Delhi, he has occupied roles ranging from assistant coach and club adviser to academy builder, reserve-team developer, and first-team head coach.

'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,' he said.

A Coaching Philosophy Shaped Before Arrival

Tchorz was candid about how he approached the transition to Indian football. Rather than rebuilding his methodology from scratch, he adapted his pre-existing ideas to the local context and talent pool.

'When I came to India, or even before that, I had already established in my mind how I wanted to play football, what my training methodology would be, and how the training process should be carried out. I was adapting things rather than completely reshaping myself here,' he explained.

Delhi as a Unique Opportunity

The Polish coach pointed to the diversity of New Delhi — a city that draws people from across India — as a defining feature of the club's identity and potential supporter base. He sees that plurality not as a challenge but as raw material for building something unified.

'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. 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,' Tchorz said.

Building Structures Around the Game

Beyond results, Tchorz appears focused on the organisational architecture of the club. His ambition extends to maximising the club's potential through sustainable processes rather than short-term fixes.

'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. I have been focused on identifying ways to maximise the potential of the club and create an environment where we can continue to grow,' he added.

With his second season now under way, the question is whether Tchorz's patient, culture-first approach can translate into the kind of results that turn a project into a movement for Indian football in the capital.
