The amalgamation of two powerhouses from West Bengal holds an immense potential to take forward the rich legacy of the State into the new era. RPSG Group will become 80 % majority shareholder alongside Mohun Bagan Football Club (India) Private Limited owning the remaining 20 % shares.

ATK have brought Brazilian striker Éverton Santos on board for the 2018-19 season of the Indian Super League. Santos started his career playing in the youth groups of São José EC and used to play for French Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain and his inclusion may prove to be a huge boost for ATK.

The 2018 edition of the Indian Super League is set to begin on September 29 with 2016 finalists’ ATK and Kerala Blasters FC to play the first game of the tournament. The fixtures were only revealed for the first half of the season featuring 12 round of matches and 59 games in total.

After a disappointing ISL season that saw ATK changing as many as three coaches in a failed attempt to get something out of it, the two-time champions have now appointed Stephen Coppell for 2018-19. The former Manchester United player has previously managed Kerala Blasters and Jamshedpur FC.
