Mohammedan SC’s constant hustle for Managers took them to Andrey

Mohammedan have been making a buzz because of their frequent shuffling of coaches. And have a bad reputation for their personnel and financial mismanagement over the years. The club signed four new managers last year(two in each division). Yan Law and Saheed Ramon took charge of the team in the 2nd division where Jose Hevia was signed as the Boss following their promotion in the I-League. However, Hevia got replaced by Shankarlal Chakraborty shortly after.

Mohammedan finished 4th in the I-league 2020-2021 season with an average performance. But with Andrey along their side now, the club might pull up some trophies in the upcoming season. After changing consecutively this might be the perfect and permanent solution for the team.
