Heavy preparations for ISL going on. BFC will surely play in ISL. As for the coach Roca, he has a 2 year contract. Going by the current plan, 1 year in I League and 1 year in revamped ISL. That's interesting. Probably that's what lured him into negotiating a 2 yr contract. Otherwise, his profile is too heavy for Indian football. Lure of I League is simply not enough.
Did someone read Zambrotta's article? He said that his contract is for 2 years with an option for 3rd and he is interested in not only winning the Indian Championship but also doing well in Asian competitions. Another indication that his signing has been done with talks on revamped ISL (teams in Asian Championship) having a major influence.
SCG and Salgaocar are out! But, does anyone care? MMB and EB and BFC object the revamped ISL model but they have not openly criticized it. Neither they supported the Goan clubs. Something is surely going behind the scenes. These clubs will most probably make it to revamped ISL.
The Kolkata clubs have it worse tho... They got to Choose between their rich history and a lucrative future. What are your thoughts??? What do you think they will do? join the revamped ISL with ATK or Play in League 1 to keep their history and name intact, and wait till promotion is allowed!
When will BFC s pre season begin? Any plan for friendlies???? They would need friendlies to get used to Roca's style of play, directly playing the AFC cup quarters doesn't seem a good idea
Carles Cuadrat will be the Assistant coach of BFC. He has worked in various age group teams at Barcelona and was part of the coaching staff of Frank Rijkard at Galatasaray and Saudi Arabia. He was also the assistant to Albert Roca at El Salavador

I mean, a former youth team coach for Barcelona and assistant for El Salvador now being the assistant for an I-League team... dang.
