East Bengal sack Spanish head coach Carles Cuadrat midway into ISL 2024-25

Kolkata: Kolkata giants East Bengal have sacked Spanish head coach Carles Cuadrat following the team’s underwhelming performance within the ongoing Indian Super League season, the club announced on Monday. Right all through the intervening time, Bino George has been named as the intervening time head coach of the side.

Cuadrat took over the charge of East Bengal in April last year, signing a two-year contract. Below Cuadrat, East Bengal ended a 12-year trophy drought since the Federation Cup triumph in 2012 by winning the Kalinga Super Cup title in January this year. It remains one of many many most best title of his reign.

He also led the team to a runners-up finish in last year’s Durand Cup. However it definitely changed into no longer a smooth sailing for the 55-year-old Spaniard as the Red and Gold brigade finished a disappointing ninth within the last ISL season with six wins as many draws and 10 defeats.

“The Emami East Bengal FC management appreciates coach Carles for directing the team to the Kalinga Super Cup title and AFC continental competitions after a long hiatus. We wish him one of many many most best in his future endeavours,” Vibhash Vardhan Agarwal of Emami Group said in an announcement.

The pressure mounted on Cuadrat after East Bengal made disastrous initiate to the ongoing ISL season, after the team suffered a hat-trick of defeats within the ongoing ISL. And the writing changed into on the wall following the losses with East Bengal making their intentions clear to cut its ties with Cuadrat.
