Jamshedpur FC stands at an important juncture in the Durand Cup 2025, heading into the knockout stage after a flawless group phase where the team won all three matches.
Before joining Jamshedpur, Steven was the head coach of Ambernath United, where he guided the team to the final round of the I-League Second Division, narrowly missing out on the title after needing just a draw against Delhi FC.
Under his tutelage, the club lifted back-to-back undefeated Mumbai FA Elite Division titles in 2022 and 2023, as well as consecutive Mumbai Women’s League titles.
Steven also managed the Maharashtra Santosh Trophy team, leading it to the final round of the 2022-23 season while recording the most goals scored in the tournament.
