Khalid Jamil became the first Indian to be appointed as the head coach of an Indian Super League side. The veteran took over the reins from outgoing coach Gerard Nus midway through the last season and guided the highlanders to their second-ever top-four finish in their ISL history.

Indian Super League side FC Goa rope in centre-back Dylan Fox for a one-year deal ahead of the new season. Having played for A-League sides like Wellington Pheonix Reserves and Central Coast Mariners, the defender joined Northeast United FC last season and even played 21 matches for the Indian side.

Northeast United FC interim coach Khalid Jamil asserted that he is very proud of his players, in spite of the loss to ATK-Mohun Bagan in the second-leg of the semi-final, last Tuesday evening. With the season over, the management is yet to decide whether Khalid Jamil would be retained.

ATK-Mohun Bagan head coach Antonio Lopez Habas admitted that his side had no intentions of taking the game to extra-time against Northeast United FC in the second-leg of the semi-finals. The ‘Mariners’ will defend their title against Mumbai City FC at the Fatorda Stadium, this Saturday evening.
