Not many Indian football aficionados considered Mohun Bagan as a strong favourite to win the I-League title in the 2019-20 season. The focus on Gokulam Kerala, who many hoped would step up and deliver after they assembled a strong squad and did well in pre-season. But Kibu Vicuna and co. were on a mission.
Mohun Bagan was another team who did well in what was a very-well organized pre-season calendar. Mohun Bagan brought Spanish head coach Kibu Vicuna on board in July and since then, meticulous planning and effort behind the scenes have helped the Mariners cruise to their second I-League title.
