Sayak Banerjee | 17-Oct 2024

The long wait for East Bengal fans is over as newly appointed coach Oscar Bruzon is expected to arrive in the city ahead of the much-anticipated derby. Sources confirm that visa issues have been resolved, clearing the way for the Spanish tactician to take charge. If all goes as planned, Oscar will land late Friday night.

The club parted ways with Carles Cuadrat following three consecutive ISL losses. Interim coach Bino George managed one match but failed to secure a victory. While Oscar’s appointment was announced hastily, uncertainty loomed over his arrival date. Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief as he’s set to take the reins. Discussions are underway to ensure he sits in the dugout for the derby.

Meanwhile, East Bengal and Emami officials held a crucial meeting with the team, attended by prominent figures including Aditya Agarwal, Manish Goenka, and club president Murarilal Lohia. According to top official Debabrata Sarkar, the meeting aimed to motivate players for the upcoming clash.
