ISL 2023–24: Antonio Habas Appointed Mohun Bagan Super Giant New Head Coach After Mariners Part Ways With Juan Ferrando

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], January 3: The Indian Super League (ISL) side Mohun Bagan Super Giant on Wednesday announced that they have parted ways with head coach Juan Ferrando and appointed Antonio Lopez Habas to take over for the same role. Ferrando took charge of Mohun Bagan SG midway through the ISL 2021-22 season and guided the club to the playoffs in his first season with the club. However, the following season was one to remember for Ferrando, with the Spaniard guiding the club to the ISL Cup during the 2022-23 season and then the Durand Cup. Habas previously served as the head coach of the Mariners from July 2020 to December 2021 and will begin his second tenure with the club. He is considered among the most successful coaches in ISL history. He won two ISL Cups and is the only head coach to do it. Under Habas, Mohun Bagan SG will look to get their campaign back on track, starting from the Kalinga Super Cup.ISL 2023-24: Northeast United FC Head Coach Juan Pedro Benali Signs New Contract, Extends His Stay Till 2025 Season
