Marko Stankovic & Diego Carlos to continue with FC Pune City

Speaking on bringing back Marko and Diego, FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said, “Marko is a solid midfielder, his control in the midfield and decision making during the game is impressive. Marko joined us half way during the season last year. I believe with a full season at his disposal, Marko will have many chances to showcase his worth. Diego played his heart out last season playing almost all the games. His chemistry with Alfaro and Marcelinho and his runs in the opposition’s box made our frontline potent.”

Marko started his career with DSV Leoben back in 1991, after his stint with clubs like U.S. Triestina Calcio, SK Sturm Graz and Austria Wien where he won one league title, featured in the Europa League and UEFA Champions League. The midfielder has also represented Austrian junior and senior national teams. Last year, Stankovic made 10 appearances for the Stallions.

Excited about returning to FC Pune City, Marko said, “Last time around, I joined the club mid-season but this year I will be around from the beginning which gives me more time to settle with the team. Being a defensive and creative midfielder, I shall ensure sure every pass I make counts. I can’t wait to don the Orange & Purple jersey and make it count this time.”
