🚨 FC Bengaluru United retain Nallappan Mohanraj! 🔵⚽
FC Bengaluru United have reappointed Nallappan Mohanraj as Head Coach for the 2026-27 season, continuing with the man who guided the club to a historic qualification for the Indian Football League last season.
This will be Mohanraj’s third stint with FCBU, with his latest spell beginning ahead of the 2025-26 campaign and culminating in the club achieving its landmark national-level qualification.
His first challenge this season will be the BDFA Super Division League, before FCBU embark on their maiden Indian Football League campaign.
Mohanraj brings plenty of experience to the role. He holds an AFC ‘A’ Diploma, has coached India’s U-19, U-20 and U-23 teams, and guided Tamil Nadu to the final round of the Santosh Trophy after an eight-year gap.
As a player, he represented India at senior level and featured for Mohun Bagan, ATK and Chennaiyin FC, winning the inaugural ISL title with Chennaiyin in 2014.
A new chapter begins in Bengaluru. 🔥

My friend’s father was at Kalakar Katta last Sunday for the protest against DJ & its deafening cousins. A media person asked him for a byte.
My friend’s father runs a clinic right in the heart of the city. He told the reporter in Marathi, I will give you a byte, but it won’t be my honest opinion. That one could get stones thrown at my clinic & my home.
And that 1 sentence, says a lot about the atmosphere around speaking up against the DJ/loudspeaker lobby.

Ryan Williams: "When I was in England we used to play minimum 50 games a year. I just wish we had more teams in the league...16-18 teams. I want to play for 10-11 months." (RevSportz)
No relegation
AIFF has informed clubs that Diamond Harbour FC will be "by default" at the bottom of the table and will consequently be relegated to the second tier.
"They will not retain ISL status for 2027-28 and will compete in the IFL that season."
