Mumbai City FC will be the team to beat in the upcoming edition of the Indian Super League (ISL). They are the defending champions, having won both the league shield and the play-off title, and have enough firepower despite a few changes to that squad.
They also have a new manager in charge, with Sergio Lobera departing for a different challenge. It remains to be seen how Des Buckingham guides the troops now. Lobera had set extremely high standards and Buckingham will have a task at his hands, trying to match up to Lobera's feat last season.
He does have a capable squad at his disposal and the addition of players like Igor Angulo and Lalengmawia will help.
