Mohun Bagan Super Giant has undergone a significant transformation following strategic changes during the winter transfer window. With the appointment of Antonio Lopez Habas as head coach, replacing Juan Ferrando, the team has experienced a resurgence in form and performance after a period of struggle in both the AFC Cup and the Indian Super League (ISL).
Habas wasted no time in making daring moves to shake up the squad dynamics. One of his most controversial decisions was to deregister midfield maestro Hugo Boumous and instead register Joni Kauko. Kauko, although sidelined due to injury for an extended period, proved to be a game-changer upon his return to the field.

In a recent clash against NorthEast United FC, Kauko displayed his brilliance by providing three stunning assists, showcasing his versatility and impact on the team’s gameplay. Habas’s gamble on Kauko paid off handsomely, as the Finnish midfielder seamlessly filled the void left by Boumous, proving himself as an invaluable asset to the team.
Moreover, Habas’s astute management has not only revitalized Kauko but has also unleashed the potential of other Indian talents within the squad. Players like Sahal Abdul Samad and Liston Colaco have flourished under his guidance, demonstrating remarkable performances on the pitch.
The tactical reshuffle orchestrated by Habas reflects his keen understanding of the team’s strengths and weaknesses. By making bold decisions and reshaping the lineup, he has instilled a newfound confidence and cohesion within the squad, leading to a resurgence in their competitive edge.
