FC Bengaluru United was established in 2018 and it has accomplished a number of steady milestones in Indian football. Their primary goal is to get the I-League qualifications right and reach the I-League for the first time. They are currently in the Durand Cup.

Last season, they had an impressive I-League quality campaign, with Mohammedan SC and Bhawanipore SC finishing third. Bengaluru United won the BDFA Super Division after a good I-League Qualifier. In their 10 out of 12 matches, they dominated the Bengaluru domestic leading league. After winning all one of its three matches, Richard Hood is at the top of the Durand Cup.

In the 1st division Qualifiers, they are ready to face the next challenge. The I-League winner is going to proceed.

FC Bengaluru United signing this year

FC Bengaluru United signed a few outstanding players to help them achieve their ultimate goal and provide gasoline for their fantasies. In former Churchill Brothers, Luka Majcen, the first sign for the season was to top. The 32-year-old prolifically scored 11 goals in the previous year’s I-League for the Red Machines.

His crime companion, the Spanish leading character Pedro Manzi, is another addition. When he joined Chennai City FC in 2018, the Spaniard came to India. The rest is history, they say. As Manzi ended their campaign with a Golden Boat, the Southerners continued to win the I-League, scoring 21 goals in 18 rounds. Manzi later went to Japan to represent the Mohammedan SC with Albirex Niigata, before he returned to India. He scored six goals from eight matches in the I-Competition despite joining the mid-season league.

We saw earlier that in a number of Durand Cup encounters, Manzi and Majcen had begun to create an understanding between them. Manzi had already scored three times in the tournament, while Majcen played a more retirement part in making the Spaniard easier.

Bengaluru United has a decent collection of Indian players, in addition to foreigners. They have a terrific combination of experience and youthful excitement. Over a decade, Indian soccer has gone by, such as Dharmaraj Ravanan, Kingshuk Debnath and Sanju Pradhan. Young talents such as Yumnam Gopi Singh, Thokchom James Singh and Asrar Rehbar, however, are the source of vitality.

FCBU Coaching Corner

Indian coach Richard Hood is very popular with his offensive soccer brand and is one of the country’s most underestimated coaches. Hood will be joined as an assistant coach by the former Gouramangi Singh, an international Indian formerly.

Gouramangi used his experience from his days as the tactical master intellect. In such a short time, the duo has done extraordinary work and if they continue in such a fashion, then Bengaluru United is not far away.

FC Bengaluru United is India’s most modern and prospective club. Recently, the Spanish League of Seville joined hands for technological growth and development. The Spanish giants also wanted to make footprints on one of the world’s most lively and largest football markets.

FC Bengaluru United’s Long-term Vission

The World Football Summit was honoured with a partnership that received the Best International Strategy Award between the FC Bengaluru United and Seville. This demonstrates that the club has the vision to pursue Indian soccer and gradually noise to rise up the ladder.

FCBU was the first club to qualify for the Durand Cup knockout rallies. Their real test is now starting because they will compete with the finest teams of the tournament, and a momentary attention lapse could terminate the competition. Bengaluru United is likely to meet Gokulam Kerala in the quarterfinals as the reigning Durand Cup Champions. It will be a great test of superior opposition if it happens.

Their entire Indian defence is fragile while they boast the attacking quintet of Manzi, Majcen, Ronaldo Oliveira and Gopi. Therefore, Hood and Guramangi will be responsible for eradicating those errors and forging a successful way forward.

Later this year the I-League qualifiers will take their place in a good event in the Durand Cup. Bengaluru United’s chief motto will be constant over the entire season and so they may achieve the pinnacle.
