The transition has begun at ATK Mohun Bagan with the Kolkata side announcing the departure of their most successful Indian Super League striker Roy Krishna earlier on Friday, days after his partner upfront David Williams also made the exit following the end of their contracts. Former FC Goa coach Juan Ferrando took over the reins of the green and maroon brigade midway through the 2021-22 ISL season and this move rings in a sea change in the Mariners camp before they embark on their sojourn in 2022-23 ISL.
ATK Mohun Bagan look to have put their faith in their Indian youngsters to take the club forward post Krishna and Williams' departures. The likes of Liston Colaco and Manvir Singh consolidated their importance in the team with some brilliant performances last season and Ferrando rests assured with the baton being passed to domestic stars. The emergence of a young Kiyan Nassiri gets the Spaniard's vote of confidence, too.
