The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

The Principal has said that Mr. Surinder will coach the football team.

The other options are incorrect:

• The Principal said that Mr. Surinder would coach the football team. - This is incorrect because the verb "would" is used to express possibility or speculation, but the original sentence is a statement of fact.
• The Principal has asked that will Mr. Surinder coach the football team. - This is incorrect because the modal verb "will" is used to express the future tense, but the reporting verb "has asked" is in the present perfect tense.
