"I Will Be Back As Director" - Ex-BCCI President Sourav Ganguly Set To Rejoin ATK Mohun Bagan

Sourav Ganguly’s tenure as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president ended on October 18, and former Indian all-rounder and 1983 World Cup winner Roger Binny was unanimously elected as the new president of the board. There were reports that Sourav Ganguly would contest for the post of CAB president, but he refused to participate.

The former Indian captain revealed that he will return as the club director of ATK Mohun Bagan and that he has fond memories of playing for the ISL club.

The 50-year-old stepped down from the board of directors of ATK-Mohun Bagan, the Sanjeev Goenka-owned ISL club, in October 2021. He had to resign from his post when he became President of the BCCI to avoid a conflict of interest.

I Will Be Back As Director Of ATK Mohun Bagan – Sourav Ganguly

“I was part of ATK Mohun Bagan. Again, I will be back as Director of ATK Mohun Bagan. I forgot the year. I am a bit nostalgic after entering the Mohun Bagan Club. It’s infrastructure, it’s ground that is awesome.

“I played for many years at this club. I played for nearly about 9 years. I am astonished by the transition of the Mohun Bagan club. Everything was so different now,” Ganguly told the reporters after visiting the iconic Mohun Bagan club.

Sourav further stated that he plans to attend the ISL Kolkata Football Derby match on October 29th, 2022.

“Apart from these, I was also associated with ATK Mohun Bagan. On the 29th, I will be there at Yuva Bharati Krirangan to witness the Kolkata Derby match between ATK Mohun Bagan and Emami East Bengal. I will also go to witness FIFA World Cup. I played cricket but I am having different love for Football,” Ganguly added.
