East Bengal FC announced a one-year contract extension for head coach Oscar Bruzon on Sunday, with the Spaniard committing his future to the club until the end of the 2025-26 season.
Bruzon took charge of the Red and Gold midway last season after the sacking of Carles Cuadrat. The Spanish tactician led East Bengal to its highest points tally (28) in an Indian Super League season despite the club’s poor start to the campaign.
Under Bruzon’s stewardship, the Red & Gold Brigade topped Group A and reached the quarterfinals of the inaugural AFC Challenge League last season.

“I am thrilled to extend my journey with Emami East Bengal FC for the upcoming season. While the previous season presented challenges, particularly after a slow start, we have collectively learned from those experiences and are now fully focused on reigniting the winning mentality that defines this great club,” said Bruzon after his contract extension.
“Our loyal supporters deserve nothing less than a team that reflects their passion, resilience and unwavering belief in East Bengal’s legacy,” added Bruzon.
