MUMBAI: Des Buckingham did not go quietly into the night. A group of Mumbai City supporters made it a point to head to the international airport in the wee hours of Friday to bid their departing manager farewell after the Englishman decided to take over the reins at hometown club Oxford United.
For a club that is still in the process of growing its fan base and often struggles to draw a full house for Indian Super League home matches at Mumbai Football Arena, the gesture clearly moved Buckingham.
