The signing of I-League winning coach Kibu Vicuna sparked hopes of a potential coaching revolution at Kerala Blasters. However, this optimism was met with an early blow with key player and fan-favourite Sandesh Jhingan set to depart after six years at the club.
The centre-back is someone who likes to put himself through crunching tackles and win the ball more often than not. Jhingan is one of the defenders you’d want in the back-line while defending a counter-attack with a numerical disadvantage. There is absolutely no doubt that any team would love to have a defender with Jhingan’s profile.
