Image Source: twitter[/caption] Kolkata: The time might not be the one the millions of East Bengal fans expected, the time might not be to celebrate the Bengali New Year, but the custom will prevail as Kingfisher East Bengal is all set to announce their new captain for the next season tomorrow in the historic "Barpujo" festival. It will be India's formidable central defender Arnab Mondal, who will be the captain for East Bengal in the next season. The experienced defender is very much upset by the performance of the club this season and tormented by the I-League trophy drought for the last 14 years. Arnab told www.xtratime.in , "I want the I-League trophy at any cost in the next season in my leadership. We haven't got that in the last 14 years and I'll be hoping that the trophy will come in my leadership." He added, "For me, leadership is not like bossing everyone, in my leadership, every player will be the captain." Meanwhile, East Bengal Secretary Kalyan Majumder said the mass protest at the club in the morning was very sad on the club's perspective.
