In Pics: 2011 International Football

India began the year by participating in the Asia Cup after a long gap of 27 years. Expectedly, they did not make it past an extremely tough group, and soon after coach Bob Houghton's five-year stint came to a controversial end. However, under new coach Savio Medeira, they ended the year on a high by winning a record sixth SAFF Cup title.Undoubtedly India's biggest football star, Bhaichung Bhutia finally called time on his illustrious 16-year career after an injury-troubled season. Fortunately, fans will get the chance to give the striker a fitting farewell when he leads India out for a final time in an exhibition match against Bayern Munich in January next year.Meanwhile, India found a new hero in Sunil Chhetri. After ending his frustrating stint at Kansas City Wizards, the striker signed for Mohun Bagan and also had trials with Scottish giants Rangers. However, it was with the national team that Chhetri shone, and his man-of-the-tournament haul of seven goals in India's victorious SAFF Cup campaign saw him win the AIFF Player of the Year award for 2011.
