Background

Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value). On 15 May 2015, Atlético de Kolkata's board announced that they would retain former Bolivia and Valencia CF manager Antonio Lopez Habas for the 2015 season. It was under him that the team had won the title in 2014. However, in spite of their first season, the team decided in retaining just 7 players from their squad of 2014, including 3 foreigners. The team signed 5 Indians and 10 foreigners from the open market.^[1] This was followed by 7 more domestic signings from the Draft.^[2]

On 29 July 2015, the team signed Portuguese international Hélder Postiga as its marquee player.^[3]

On 25 August 2015, the team went on pre season tour to Madrid, Spain where they trained for a month.
