After their 4-0 loss against Mumbai City FC at home, Bengaluru FC have officially sacked Simon Grayson. His assistant, Neil McDonald, has also been relieved of his duties in the aftermath of the loss. The Englishman spent one and a half years with the club, where he helped them win the Durand Cup and finished as the runner-up of the ISL last season, making it into the finals after defeating Mumbai City FC but losing to ATK Mohun Bagan. 

The club has had to endure a challenging start to the season, where they remain ninth in the table, with only seven points from nine games. Their last, and only win this season came against East Bengal in Round 3, after they picked up a hard fought 2-1 win. Since then, they have drawn against Punjab FC, NorthEast United, FC Goa and Hyderabad FC.
