The newest team in the ISL, Jamshedpur FC will be looking to put the disappointment of not making the playoffs in their debut season behind them, as they get started under new leadership in the 2018-19 season.
The Miners' new Spanish head coach Cesar Ferrando has taken over the reins from Englishman Steve Coppell, who has moved to rivals ATK. Jamshedpur have also lost the services of pivotal foreigners in Andre Bikey and Wellington Priori.
Their captain Tiri will once again be the bedrock on which the team is reliant upon. They have made the biggest acquisition of the season as well - roping in Australian star Tim Cahill, on a one-year deal.
Cahill, who retired from international football after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, played for English club Millwall last season, and it will be interesting to see how he does in his Indian bow.
As far as their Indians are concerned, exciting young talent like Farukh Choudhary and Jerry Mawihmingthanga will continue to fly the flag for the team. They lost two pivotal players in defence though - as Anas Edathodika and Souvik Chakraborty left the club in search of newer pastures.
The Miners begin their season with a trip to Mumbai to play Mumbai City FC, before a trip to the south to play last season's runners-up, Bengaluru FC.
They play their first home game after the first international break when they welcome ATK to the JRD Tata Sports Complex.
