He acted as the club captain in replacement to Luis Garcia, who was injured right before the final match. Both Josemi and Garcia had won the UEFA Champions League with Liverpool FC in 2004-05 and carried on the success with Atletico de Kolkata in 2014 as well. Josemi formed a formidable centre back partnership with Arnab Mondal though out the season. He renewed his contract with ATK for one more year but was ruled out of the tournament due to injury after just 3 games. He did not play further for any club and announced his retirement in 2016. In 2017, he returned to his boyhood club Malaga as a match delegate.

The Czech left back was on loan from Sparta Prague when he won the title with Atletico de Kolkata in 2014. He took the corner that Mohammed Rafique headed to glory in the last minute of the final. Podany made a few appearances for Sparta Prague post his ISL stint with ATK and was later sold to the Slovakian club SK Slovan Bratislava as a free transfer. He was sold again next year to the Czech club Dukla Prague as a free transfer and has made only 5 appearances since then.
