Priya Nair

Head Coach — Women

Priya Nair is Head Coach of FC Real Bengaluru's women's programme, guiding the KSFA Women's A Division squad after promotion from B Division champions. She designs environments where female players build technical confidence, tactical clarity, and competitive habits without compromising long-term development. Her coaching emphasises game understanding — pressing triggers, wide combinations, and restarts — supported by age-appropriate strength and decision-making work. Priya has worked across Bangalore youth leagues and women's competitive football, mentoring players transitioning from school and college football into structured club environments. She aligns women's sessions with the club's broader playing model while accounting for calendar constraints, school commitments, and pathway goals unique to girls' and women's football in Karnataka. Feedback is direct and constructive; selection conversations focus on readiness, attitude, and contribution to the squad. Priya is on the AFC/AIFF coaching pathway and coordinates with assistant coaches on individual plans and match analysis. Families exploring girls' football in Bangalore can speak with admissions about batch fit, trials, and the women's competitive route.
