Kolkata: East Bengal’s recently released foreign midfielder Armand Bazie has got a surprise move to the biggest contender of this season’s Hero I-League – Minerva Punjab FC for the remainder of this season.
Kolkata giant East Bengal had released midfielder Armand Bazie ahead of the home stretch as they try to launch a final search for the elusive I-League title.
Bazie, who made his first foray into mainstream Indian football during his stint with Calcutta Football League (CFL) minnows Rainbow FC this season, was hurriedly signed by Khalid Jamil as the club’s search for a defensive midfielder seemed to have hit a roadblock.
Bazie never really impressed but it was the club’s financial crisis and archaic recruitment policy which became the biggest takeaway.
