East Bengal announced the arrival of Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler as the club head coach on Friday on a two-year deal.
The new East Bengal manager will be accompanied by a team of backroom staff to assist him at the club. Former Manchester City midfielder Tony Grant will be his assistant coach. Grant had also worked as Fowler’s assistant in his last assignment at A-League’s Brisbane Roar.
They have also roped in goalkeeping coach Robert Mimms, sports scientist Jack Inman, physio Michael Harding and video analyst Joseph Walmsley. But the most interesting addition that has been made to Fowler’s backroom staff is the appointment of former Blackpool manager Terence McPhillips who will join the team as a set-piece coach.
