She has been coaching for the last 10 years. Along with the premier women's team, she also has experience coaching Indian junior women in the SAF Games. Presently, she is coaching East Bengal's debutant women's team in the Indian Women's League (IWL).

Still, Sujata Kar seems excited about her first assignment of coaching a men's football team in the Kolkata Premier League in the coming season. 

Sujata has been appointed as the assistant coach of Southern Samity where Ranjan Bhattacharya has joined as the chief coach for the upcoming Kolkata Premier League. 

Sujata, speaking to Parallel Sports from Ahmadabad on Saturday morning said, “I feel honored to have been asked by Southern Samity’s top executive Sourav Paul to join the team as an assistant coach. I am excited and waiting for the day I will start my job. It has been a great opportunity for me and I am also fortunate that I will be able to learn a lot of things from Ranjan Bhattacharya.” 

Commenting on the issue of where Kolkata Premier League will be staged without the presence of foreign strikers after almost 40 years, Sujata explained, "This rule will no doubt help all the teams in respective states to create supply line of potential local footballers who in near future can glorify the country's football. But at the same time, the absence of foreign strikers, midfielders, or defenders in the league is also coming as a challenge for the coaches of all Kolkata Premier League teams. We have to find out potential local footballers in the team, nurture them in a way so that they can establish themselves as the substitutes of foreign footballers who had generally taken part in Kolkata Premier League in recent years.” 

Sujata however gave all credit to her players after debutant East Bengal women reached the last-eight stage of ongoing IWL. She explained, “We are playing here without quality foreigners. We could not practice properly before coming here. Then we had a nightmarish start in the League with 8-0 loss against Gokulam FC, one of the title contenders. Still, I did not give up. I had belief in the girls and I put it into their minds that they also can. The girls have potential. They need the inspiration and my job is to m motivate them continuously.” 

East Bengal will start their campaign in the quarter-final league on 16th May.
