Mohun Bagan Super Giant (commonly referred to as Mohun Bagan) is an Indian association football club based in Kolkata, West Bengal. Founded in 1889, it is one of the oldest football clubs in Asia. The club competes in the Indian Super League, the top tier of Indian football league system.[1]
For the major part of the club's footballing history, the team was mostly managed by one of the administrators, like the secretary or the vice-president, or by player-turned-coaches, until professional coaches became common and later became mandated by leagues. The first professional manager appointed for Mohun Bagan was Amal Dutta in 1969 for the first time, who cumulatively managed the team for 24 years between 1969–2006 and is famously remembered for introducing the concept of fullbacks and the innovative 3–4–3 'Diamond' formation to the Indian football during his stints at the club. Under Karim Bencherifa, Mohun Bagan created a record of most consecutive I-League match victories(10) in 2008-09 season. Among the long list of managers, only two could manage Mohun Bagan to win the prestigious I-League, Sanjoy Sen(in 2015) and Kibu Vicuña(in 2020). Under the management of Sanjoy Sen Mohun Bagan became the first Indian club to win a match in ACL and also reached the Round 16 of AFC Cup for the first time in the club's history in 2016. In 2019-20, Kibu Vicuña led Mohun Bagan to their second I-League title win with four matches to spare and matching Dempo's record to fastest I-League title win.
Note: The following list includes all the coaches/managers of Mohun Bagan since the reformation of I-League in 2007, when appointment of licensed coaches was mandated for the designation of head coach. Prior to then, the team was often led by administrative personnels who may not be licensed.
