Churchill Brothers have now
completed their roster of four
foreign players and are ready to
take on any team in the country
with the ultimate aim of
conquering the I-League title and
some major titles in the country’s
football arena.
It was informed that Kovacic has
to his credit the distinction of
playing for New Castel Jets in the
A-League and also doing his stint
in South Korea, besides playing
for big clubs in Australia itself.
This 1.94 meter tall Australian
player, who prefers to play in
the centre back, is likely to be the
tallest footballer in the country.
According to a source from
Churchill Brothers, Kovacic has
arrived in the state on Sunday
morning and will be formally
introduced to the press on
Monday or Tuesday at the club
house at Varca.
With his arrival, Churchill
Brothers have now four foreign
stars in striker Henri Antchouet,
ND Opara and Roberto Mendes
alias Beto.
“This is surely going to be a
deadly combination,” the source
said. He further said that the
entire Churchill Brothers family is
happy about the arrival of all the
four foreign players who are
class in themselves and have the
capability to deliver goods
Old warhorses are often good enough for Indian football, such is our standard. Other than Yakubu last season Igor Skyvryn top scored in NFl when he was 36, Cheema also played a big part in Bagan's first NFL when he was in mid-30s.
PANJIM: As part of inducting greater professionalism, Varca-based Churchill Bros Pvt Ltd have roped in Watson Fernandes from Mobor-Cavelossim in media and marketing department, stated CEO Macario Rodrigues.
Watson, armed with a degree in pharmacy and MBA with marketing as specialization from Pune, has been passionate about football, being an avid Manchester United fan.
“As I grew up, my passion for football grew stronger and I knew that I wanted to be an intrinsic part of it. I want to thank Churchill Alemao and the entire Churchill Brothers family for providing me with this opportunity,” he said. Asked about the reason for joining Churchill Brothers, Watson declared: “It’s because I have always been a big fan of the team. I also joined them because of their rich history, various achievements. Besides, they are moving in the right direction when it comes to Indian football.”
“Churchill have a massive fan base not only in Goa but outside the State as well. We have various activities planned for engaging the fans and providing an incredible fan experience. We have already organised an event where 10 fans were sent for the Blackburn game in Pune and another one where we screened the Durand Cup final between Churchill and Prayag United live in Goa which had a good turnover in terms of people and enjoyment. Some more exciting events are in the pipeline as well,” pointed out Watson.
“We have already made our presence felt on Facebook. We will shortly be launching our official website which will be user friendly and provide the fans with up-to-date information. We are looking forward to the coming season as we have collaborated with the GFA to organise our home games for the first time in Indian football.”
