Simon Grayson eyeing ISL glory at Bengaluru FC and opens up on life in India

Simon Grayson won the League Cup and two play-off finals as a player with Leicester, and the Football League Trophy with Blackpool. As a manager, he has won four promotions from League One.

But the Yorkshireman still reckons that winning the Indian Super League with Bangalore-based Bengaluru FC this season would rank alongside anything he has achieved in football.

Grayson, whose side take on Kerala Blasters for a place in the play-off semi-finals against Manchester City ’s sister club Mumbai City FC, said: “Winning the ISL would pretty much be up there because it’s completely different and out of my comfort zone. We won the Durand Cup in pre-season, which was massive because the club hadn’t won that before and it’s an historic tournament, the third-oldest cup competition in the world.
