After rocky tenure, Shree Cement hands over sporting rights to East Bengal

Shree Cement Limited on Tuesday officially ended their topsy-turvy two-year association with Kolkata heavyweights East Bengal by handing back the sporting rights of the ISL wooden spooners. It was primarily due to efforts of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, the Hari Mohan Bangur-owned cement conglomerate bought a majority stake of 76 per cent in the beleaguered East Bengal to help them enter India Super League in 2020-21. But the association did not go off well as the East Bengal executive committee, which is primarily run by Debabrata (Nitu) Sarkar refused to sign the final agreement, claiming discrepancies between the final agreement and initial term sheet.

SC East Bengal end season rock-bottom as Bengaluru signs off with a win

SC East Bengal ended their disastrous Indian Super League (ISL) campaign at the rock bottom of the table after losing 0-1 to Bengaluru FC in their last match of the season on Saturday.

The result meant that the Kolkata-based club finished the season in the bottom-place on the points table, with only one win in 20 matches.

East Bengal legend Nassiri’s son Kiyan scores hat-trick for Mohun Bagan

An East Bengal legend’s son broke the red-and-gold hearts, playing for Mohun Bagan. Kiyan Nassiri, son of former East Bengal striker Jamshid Nassiri, announced his arrival in Indian football, scoring a hat-trick for ATK Mohun Bagan at the return-leg Indian Super League derby against SC East Bengal in Goa on Saturday. The green-and-maroon came back from a goal down to win the match 3-1. Back in the 1980s, Jamshid was a star forward for East Bengal, forming a deadly partnership with Majid Bishkar. They came from Iran and especially Majid lit up the Kolkata maidan with his soccer sorcery. Jamshid was a typical marksman, always ready to pounce on goal-scoring opportunities. While Majid returned to Iran after a short but dazzling career that eventually fell by the wayside, his friend adopted...

East Bengal does not have that level to compete in ISL: Ex-coach Diaz

He arrived in the red and gold club with Real Madrid’s motto of “winning is in our DNA,” on his lips. Having coached superstars like Lucas Vasquez, Diego Llorente, Casmiero, Denis Cheryshev and Rodrygo in in the youth system of Los Blancos, East Bengal fans had hoped that Manuel Manolo Diaz would be the perfect replacement for Robbie Fowler to take charge of their beloved club, despite last minute tussle between the club and investor Shree Cement. But things went downhill once the season started and after going 8 matches without a win, including a humiliating loss in the derby against ATK Mohun Bagan, his sacking was inevitable. He had come with lofty aspirations but left disappointed. In an exclusive chat with Indian Express he talks about his time in Indian football and also takes a d...

He will forever be in my heart: Douglas Silva remembers his ‘Boss’ Subhas Bhowmick

With two back-to-back league titles and the ASEAN Cup, Douglas Silva is one of the best players to have ever graced Indian football. Known for his tough tackling, aerial presence, and physical dominance, the Brazilian managed to carve out an iconic status in the hearts of the red and gold fans.
