Asia’s oldest football club Mohun Bagan AC has assembled a 33 players strong squad for the 2012/13 season. After two trophy-less seasons the green-and-maroon will look to add to their collection of titles. The team will be guided by new coach Santosh Kashyap, who has a good squad at his disposal with possibly the most potent attack led by the combine of Odafe Onyeka Okolie and Tolgay Ozbey.
Unlike in the last few seasons, the club has also brought in some reinforcements for their defence and midfield, which the management would hope can supplement their strong attack.
