With less than a month to go before the 7th Season of the Hero ISL kicks off behind closed doors in Goa, Jamshedpur FC introduces their final squad for the new season starting 20th November 2020.
The squad consists of 34 players - 7 foreign and 27 Indian players.
After a tough 2019-20 season, the club's sole focus will be to qualify for the playoffs more than ever and the selection committee has left no stone unturned to make the most of the transfer window and bolster the team with some jaw-dropping additions; it has certainly created quite the buzz in the world of Indian football.
The club made 12 new signings including the 2019-20 Golden Boot winner Nerijus Valskis, former Motherwell F.C. player, Peter Hartley and Australian national, Nicholas Fitzgerald, along with some solid Indian talents like Jackichand Singh, Pawan Kumar, and promoted 10 fresh young talents from the club’s Reserve Team and U18 Team to the Senior team like Billu Telli and Gorachand Mardi to name a few.
To further tighten their strategy for the new season, Jamshedpur FC appointed ex Marina Machan coach, Owen Coyle who pulled the impossible last season and took the then bottom-placed Chennaiyin F.C. to the finals.
The Gaffer is ecstatic to be a part of the club and wants to shape the team in a way that it will help Jamshedpur FC reach new milestones. “We are building a squad that embodies and reflects the core values and principles of Jamshedpur FC. With honesty, hard work, humbleness and packed with quality, we are ready to represent our outstanding fans in this season of ISL.”
The final squad of Season 20/21 will be as follows:
