Chencho Dorji (born 1 January 1980 in Mongar) is a Bhutanese football manager/head coach.[1][2][3][4] Besides Bhutan, he has coached in India.[5][6][7][8]

Managerial career

Dorji completed his C-License coaching course in 2005. He served a number of different age-group teams over the years.[9] Dorji worked as the head coach of the Bhutan youth national teams before his move to the Indian I-League. "The I-League is one of the biggest leagues in South Asia and it has teams that have been playing at such a high level for many years. We have been preparing well and no team should take us lightly. We can certainly come up with surprise results;" Dorji said about his move to Sudeva.[10][11]

"It is a great honour to be part of the I-League. I really thank the president and the vice-president for believing in me and deciding to give the huge responsibility. lf you do well, you will survive and I am very excited about this challenge. As with every head coach, I also want to win. l want to win all the matches, but that does not happen in football."

— Chencho Dorji, after becoming the coach of Sudeva.[12]

[13] Dorji became the coach of Sudeva again in 2023, and guided the team in the I-League 2.[14]
