3.10-match winning run with MB in 1st spell
It was a successful start for Bencherifa at Mohun Bagan as he guided them to Calcutta Football League success and then won the Federation Cup to book the Kolkata club’s place in the AFC Cup. But the real challenge was to make Mohun Bagan consistent in the I-League. Since their last league success in 2002, Mohun Bagan had finished in the top three only once in the next six campaigns. Bencherifa didn’t enjoy a great start in the I-League as they managed four draws in five games. But a narrow 1-0 away win over Dempo seemed to kick-start their season as they followed it up with five straight wins without conceding. The winning sequence was stretched to ten games and created a new record in the I-League.. The streak ended against arch-rivals East Bengal but Mohun Bagan finished runners-up. It remains their best-ever season in the I-League and the 10-matching winning run hasn’t been equalled.
