East Bengal Football Club has made a big statement with the extension of Coach Stephen Constantine’s contract for two more seasons. Despite a disappointing ninth place in the ISL IX table, East Bengal’s investor Emami has been impressed by Constantine’s work and has decided to continue the partnership with the club.
Constantine, who joined the club in July of last year, had previously stated that it would be a miracle if East Bengal made it to the playoffs. However, with a 1-0 win over Kerala Blasters at home, Constantine is already looking ahead to the next season and targeting a top-six finish.
Emami’s Faith in Coach Stephen Constantine: A Step towards Stabilizing East Bengal’s Future
The extension of Constantine’s contract also signifies a continued commitment from Emami to the club. This is a positive development for East Bengal, which has had tumultuous relationships with previous investors Quess Corp and Shree Cement.
One of the reasons for East Bengal’s poor performance this season was a late entry into the transfer market. However, sources suggest that next season, East Bengal will build a strong team and make changes to improve their position in the league.
On a different note, East Bengal has a disciplinary issue to deal with. Defender Ankit Mukherjee has been fined for throwing his jersey in anger after being substituted in a recent match, and Coach Constantine has expressed doubt about the player’s future at the club.
East Bengal Football Club’s decision to extend Coach Stephen Constantine’s contract is a sign of a new era in Indian football. With a committed investor, a strong coach, and a plan for the future, East Bengal is ready to take on the challenge and make its mark on the Indian football scene. Get ready for a red and gold revolution as East Bengal strives for greatness under Coach Stephen Constantine!
