MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's new soccer coach Igor Stimac is starting to instill the belief in his players that qualifying for a maiden World Cup finals is not a pipedream but a genuine target, goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu has told Reuters.

Former Croatia defender Stimac was appointed coach on a two-year contract last month after Englishman Stephen Constantine walked away from the job in the wake of the team's exit from the group stages of the Asian Cup.
