Internet Desk: Mohun Bagan’s Federation Cup 2016 winning coach Sanjoy Sen after putting his footsteps in the club tent for the felicitation ceremony said his next target is to make a double in regards to trophies (I-league, Fed Cup)next season. The question now doing the rounds is that is Sanjoy Sen set to be retained as the next coach for Bagan.

Earlier, on this issue, Mohun Bagan officials have already said that they are setting up the team keeping in mind Sanjoy Sen as their coach. But, Sanjoy Sen is yet to decide ob his future. The gaffer said, ” I am officially Mohun Bagan’s coach till 31st May. Then I am free. I will decide my future after 15 days. Now I want to spend time with my family.”

Although, Sanjoy is saying that he needs time to decide on his future but it is quite clear that he will remain in the hot seat for Bagan in the next season as he is targeting a double next season.

As he had said earlier that he will be leaving if Bagan would have lost Federation Cup final against Aizawl FC on Saturday, but this is past now. He had already given indications to stay at Bagan though official confirmation is yet to be made.

Sanjoy Sen had also made it clear he does not coach a team to win any particular rivalry. Indications are clear that he is talking about the derby which Mohun Bagan lost to East Bengal this year twice. Sanjoy said, ” I do not want win derby. This is just a personal achievement. I want to win trophies. Now every body can understand that why Mohun Bagan was trophy less for a consecutive five years and why did they fail to win the I-League for last 13 years. We need to come out of this nature of winning derbies and personal rivalries rather I would be more happy when my team would defeat East Bengal to get a trophy.”

Bagan coach looked very happy with the amount of supporters turning up in the airport and felt ecstatic. Sanjoy added,” These emotions and happiness of the fans are valueless. You cannot buy these with money. You won’t get it from any grocery shop too and neither you can bargain with their emotions. I am just overwhelmed.”
