Chennaiyin FC are building a strong squad with quite a few utility players

Chennaiyin FC have had a stretch of underwhelming outings in the Indian Super League, finishing eighth in the previous two ISL seasons. Hence, the Marina Machans are desperate to return back to their glory days. They have undergone multiple changes this summer, bringing in numerous new faces, including head coach Thomas Brdaric. Rather than opting to go for big Indian names, the Tamil Nadu-based club has signed multiple utility players to strengthen the squad. The likes of Monotosh Chakladar, Sajal Bag, Jockson Dhas, , and Aakash Sangwan will provide the club with a strong base. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
