Asia’s oldest football club Mohun Bagan AC has assembled their squad for the 2013/14 season with an aim to end their three trophy-less seasons.
The green-and-maroon will look to add to their trophy collection under coach Karim Bencharifa though the budget had to be reduced substantially due to the financial crisis in West Bengal.Unlike in earlier seasons Mohun Bagan have mainly looked to strengthen their defence and midfield with the Dempo trio of Rowilson Rodrigues, Anthony Pereira and Nicolau Borges being amongst the top signings along with Japanese Katsumi Yusa of ONGC and seasoned goalkeeper Sandip Nandy from Churchill Brothers.
