East Bengal have been making the headlines in Indian football since the day they announced the arrival of new investors Shree Cement Limited who facilitated the club’s entry into the Indian Super League (ISL), which is the top tier of Indian football.
After the confirmation of East Bengal joining the ISL came, the new team management was quick to hire former Liverpool star Robbie Fowler as the head coach.
Fowler’s appointment was followed by the addition of some top quality foreign players to the squad as per the manager’s instructions. The club has so far announced the signings of six overseas stars and every single player comes with a good pedigree.
