🚨 CONFIRMED: Manolo Márquez is set to become the new head coach of Mumbai City FC ✅

On this day, 3 years ago🔙 Mumbai City unveiled their new crest, with CFG stating it would "further strengthen" the club's integration into City Football Group and align it with its sister clubs and long-term vision. Two years later, CFG walked away. #AamchiCity #TheIslanders

@MCFC_DB Yes

@Islanders_Extra Ashish sibi confirmed?

Signed in 2022, Ahan is still awaiting his senior debut. Rehnesh and Ashish Sibi alongside him as the GK union, he'll be hoping to challenge for the No. 1 spot. With Manolo expected to take charge, won't be surprised if Ahan gets his chance, much like Hrithik Tiwari did at Goa.

Ahan 🤝 2028 ✍️ Our young goalkeeper, Ahan Prakash, has committed his future to #TheIslanders, signing a two-year extension until the summer of 2028. #Ahan2028 #AamchiCity 🔵

Petr Kratky set to depart Mumbai City as the club's longest-serving head coach after 904 days🩵 🏆 ISL Cup (2023/24) 🥈 ISL League runners-up (2023/24) 📈 League finishes of 6th and 3rd in the following 2 seasons 👏 3 Super Cup semi-finals #AamchiCity will always be grateful🙏

Paaji Stays 🩵 Home continues to be home. We are thrilled to announce that Vikram has signed a new two-year contract extension with #MumbaiCity, keeping him with #TheIslanders until the summer of 2028 💪 #Vikram2028 #AamchiCity 🔵

This looks like a positive move for the club. Mumbai City saves around ₹3–3.5 crore, and Chhangte was no longer having the impact expected on the pitch. With clarity on the league now, hopefully those funds are put to good use in strengthening the squad in the near future🤞

Blocked one of the few fan pages dedicated to this club over honest criticism, played a part in us falling short in the title race last season, leveraged another club's interest for an inflated contract, and refused a pay cut when the club needed it most. Thanks for everything 👋

Mumbai City's recruitment from the I-League has consistently attracted exceptional talent over the years💙 Who would you like to see the club sign from the I-League this season? 👀 @sujaysharma @mumbaicityfc @itsshrij #AamchiCity #TheIslanders

As reported earlier, Vikram has signed an extension with the club. More minutes guaranteed as 𝑪𝒉𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒃⌛ Noufal, Nikum and Vikram to battle it out at the wings for #TheIslanders 🩵 Exciting prospects. Your thoughts? #AamchiCity

6️⃣ Seasons. 1️⃣0️⃣9️⃣ Appearances. 3️⃣8️⃣ Clean Sheets. 4️⃣ Trophies. 1️⃣ Golden Glove Countless unforgettable moments. After six incredible seasons, it's time to say goodbye to Phurba Lachenpa. You arrived with a dream, grew into one of our own, and stood tall between the sticks whenever we needed you. Thank you for wearing the badge with pride, and giving everything for this club. We wish you nothing but success in the journey ahead, Phurba 🩵 #ThankYouPhurba #AamchiCity 🔵

23 Sept 2020. A boy from Sikkim arrived. 8 Mar 2021. A penalty save with his first touch. Four trophies. A Golden Glove. Two ACL campaigns. 109 games. 40 clean sheets. 5 May 2026. His final game. Phurba leaves #AamchiCity after 6 glorious years🩵 Thank you for everything 🙏

@J1521000 Vikram has signed an extension with the club.

@Islanders_Extra Good now changte & vikram should be kicked we are fine for this season then

🚨 PHURBA LACHENPA IS SET TO LEAVE MUMBAI CITY FC. The Golden Glove winner leaves having won all four major trophies in Mumbai City FC's history during his time at the club. #AamchiCity #TheIslanders

"He has benefited immensely from the players around him." "Surrounding him with the right profiles is the key to getting the very best out of him." Kratky shared a similar perspective on Chhangte's success👇 Fans wear his jerseys in the stadium, what should the club do here?

If Chhangte does join Bagan, what are your thoughts? Despite the numbers, he's had two underwhelming seasons with little impact in key moments. With one year left and being one of India's highest-paid players, cash in now or risk losing him for free? And do we have a replacement?
