Subhash Bhowmick
Nicknamed Bhombolda, Bhowmick earned fame with East Bengal in 2003 when he won the National League and ASEAN Cup in Jakarta. With some good, talented players in the team, Bhowmick dreamt of success. He made the club understand the relevance of modern football’s basic needs like gym and outstation camps.
Like Armando Colaco, he too wanted to have all his players under one roof. Hence, the team ventured out in the suburbs of Calcutta, far from the media gaze. He started to give reference about Manchester United and Alex Ferguson’s success. At the club lawn, Bhowmick initiated some changes. He stopped players from speaking to journalists on the ground, which he felt, was done to protect them. Besides, he would have his post-training media briefings only in scheduled times.

Bhowmick later proved that the changes were done to professionalise the set-up when he won the international event, ASEAN Cup, where East Bengal beat some of the top south-Asian clubs.
But he couldn’t produce the same results with other teams like Mohammedan Sporting (2006) and Salgaocar. Only last season, as the Technical Director, Bhowmick led Churchill Brothers to I-League victory.
