KOLKATA: East Bengal Wednesday appointed their former coach
Bastab Roy
as the head of youth development with the additional responsibility as assistant coach of senior football team for the upcoming season.
The Twitter announcement came less than a fortnight after East Bengal appointed Spaniard Josep Ferre as an assistant to coach Alejandro Menendez Garcia.
Roy will be the second assistant coach of Garcia after Ferre, a UEFA 'A' license holder and an expert video analyst with a degree in sports science.
In another announcement, East Bengal also extended the contract of goalkeeping coach
Abhra Mondal
upto 2019-20 season.
An A-License holder, Roy was the coach of East Bengal briefly during the
Calcutta Football League Premier Division before the red-and-gold brigade hired high profile former Real Madrid Castilla gaffer Menendez Garcia ahead of I-League 2018-19 season.
Roy had replaced
Khalid Jamil
last season and worked alongside technical director
Subhash Bhowmick
.
Roy was also the assistant coach when ATK won the Indian Super League in 2016 as he has worked under the likes of Antonio Habas,
Teddy Sheringham
and Jose Molina at the Kolkata franchise.
