East Bengal FC brace for pivotal January as ISL enters decisive phase

The Indian Super League (ISL) has reached its crucial second phase, placing East Bengal FC at a defining point in their campaign.

- 

After an inconsistent start to the season, the Red and Gold Brigade (EBFC) now face a pivotal moment.

With a challenging set of fixtures looming in January, the month could determine the trajectory of their season and potentially make or break their aspirations.

The campaign began with immense promise.

A revamped squad featuring key foreign stars like Dimitrios Diamantakos and Madih Talal, alongside Indian talents such as Anwar Ali and Jeakson Singh, raised expectations.

However, with a six-game losing streak, the Red and Gold Brigade's (EBFC) season began on the wrong foot.

The tough start also led to a change in the head coach role, with Carles Cuadrat parting ways after three consecutive defeats in the league.
