Bagan assistant coach Satyajit Chatterjee resigns

Mohun Bagan assistant coach, Satyajit Chatterjee announced his resignation on Tuesday, July 14. It is assumed that Satyajit did not wanted to be a second fiddle to someone who is junior to him in age. Also, rumor has it that he is not pleased with clubs over-dependency on chief coach, Karim Bencherifa, with whom at times Satyajit had differences in opinion.

A true loyalist, Satyajit had played for Mohun Bagan for 14 seasons on a trot. After retiring from the game, he was associated with his favorite club as an assistant coach. Earlier, he had assisted coaches like Amal Dutta and Carlos Roberto Perreira.

Know to be a true gentleman on and off the field, Satyajit never came out against the club, he silently put down his papers. However, he felt that he was not given his due recognition.

Another former Mohun Bagan player, Shyamal Banerjee is set to take the role of the assistant coach. Mohun Bagan’s pre-season camp starts in a few days.

May be Mohun Bagan management should think of utilizing Satyajit’s experience in some other areas or encourage him to complete the AFC License courses.
