Sandesh Jhingan pens heartwarming note after finishing second run with Bengaluru FC

India's one of the most successful football clubs, Bengaluru FC, has decided not to renew the contract for defender Sandesh Jhingan. He was signed on a one-year- deal last summer after he left the Bengal Giants, the Mohun Bagan SG. The 29-year-old defender was a notable player in the Blues' run to the Indian Super League and Hero Super Cup finals.

Jhingan quickly grasped the situation and played a significant role in BFC's pre-season Durand Cup victory. He was among the first names on Simon Grayson's roster during a remarkable season. 

With him bidding his goodbye to Bengaluru, there are rumors that the highly talented Sandesh Jhingan will serve as a leadership role model for FC Goa. He might be the perfect stand-in for Anwar Ali, who is on his way to the Mohun Bagan Super Giant, at the center of defense. His defensive efforts will determine how the site performs. The player is heavily linked with the relatively young team of FC Goa, but the transfer is yet to be announced. The club acquiring Jhingan would be a significant transfer statement, and they will be aiming to quickly get back to the top of the points standings under Manolo Marquez after a disastrous season under Carlos Pena in the Indian Super League.

Sandesh Jhingan’s aerial prowess and ability to handle last-ditch situations were exceptional, as evidenced by his record-breaking 117 clearances in the Indian Super League (ISL). His invariant presence ensured a well-organized and secure defensive line, playing a vital role in BFC’s unbeaten run to the ISL finals. Jhingan’s departure may create a significant void for Bengaluru FC, which they need to fill as they aim to build upon their successful season. The athlete could be a dependable and potent center-back for any football club, as he still seems to be performing at his peak.
