Mohun Bagan recruited another new coach in the mid
of the season once again, this time they have brought one of their former axed
coach karim Bencharifa from Salgaocar, Goa. By this way they keep their
tradition alive. Since last three years Mohun Bagan have changed five coaches,
that becomes their renowned tradition. For holding the hotseat of the Green
& Maroon coach & occupying a chair in musical chair games almost became
synonyms since last few years, if we go through the track record we will get
Karim Bencharifa, Stanley Rojario, Steve Derby, Subrata Bhattacharjee &
Santosh Kashyap serially.
This
time they could have recruited veteran Subrata Bhattacharjee easily for giving
some oxygen to this dying Mohun Bagan side, Bhattacharjee is an ex player of
the club, very much loyal Mohun Bagani, all the supporters expected him to take
the batton of the Mariners in his hand in this crisis period but only the
killer ego of current Mohun Bagan officials denied him from taking the responsibility.
Actually the current Mohun Bagan official believe in surprise instead of
team’s good performance. Last time when they lost to Prayag United in a CFL
game, they introduced Tolgay Ozbey from arch rival camp East Bengal to cover
the harsh reality of loosing the CFL crown. This time they were trying the same
thing with some foreign names as a coach, but they remain in-vain because most
of the foreigners denied them actually so they were well determined to grab
Karim ultimately.
Instead
of Bhattacharjee they have brought back Karin Bencharifa from Salgaocar, that
is true the past experience of karim in Mohun Bagan was not so good, even that
can be told that the same officials have sacked him without having any
sufficient reason, even that time he made the Mariners victorious in Federation
cup & runners in the I-League.
In his two years tenure he made Salgaocar victorious in the prestigious
I-League & the Federation cup. He actually likes to work with juniors,
understands the man-management well.
The Salgaocar officials Shivanand Salgaocar & Raju Gomes obstructed
a lot regarding the release of Karim but this time Karim himself was eager to
take the responsibility of the Green & Maroon brigade, he himself forced
the officials to release him from his current club.
The true thing is the condition of the
Mariners is not good enough right now, they have lost both of their starting
I-League games, knocked out in the very early stages of the Federation cup, the
question might evoke is it the right time for Karim to take the responsibility of
heave weight & supporter based club like Mohun Bagan ? Only the time will give us the answer or else
he might have to follow the footsteps of the others like the notorious
tradition of the Mariners.
