Kolkata, Dec 29: Mohammedan Sporting’s priority is to win the title but they plan to get to that point in a phased manner, says newly appointed technical director, Sankarlal Chakraborty. Mohammedans are among this season’s newcomers in the I-League, and Chakraborty said that the immediate aim for the team would be to break into the top six of the league.
“For a big club like Mohammedan Sporting, we believe that our target should always be to win the trophy. We have to plan it all out together.”
“First and foremost, we have to explain the equation to the players as well, that we need to finish in the top six first, in order to challenge for the title. So we need to go one step at a time,” Chakraborty told i-league.org
Mohammedan Sporting have traditionally been regarded as one of Kolkata’s “big three” clubs, along with East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.
Chakraborty has played for both clubs and managed Mohun Bagan and so knows the pressure that come with being involved with a big club in Kolkata. (IANS)
