Reportedly, Stimac did not have the best start as an Indian coach. India finished third in the King's Cup followed by a disappointing display in the Intercontinental Cup at home.

Goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu said that the team should play as a unit without fear.

The last match between Oman and India recorded a goalless draw in Abu Dhabi in a friendly game in December 2018.
