Why Bengaluru FC Chose Renedy Singh
Bengaluru FC’s decision is seen as a strategic move for several reasons:
✓ Strong knowledge of Indian football talent
Renedy is highly respected for developing young Indian players and understanding the domestic structure.

Having been with the club since 2023 as assistant coach, he already knows the squad dynamics, training culture, and youth setup.
✓ Modern tactical mindset
His attacking 4-3-3 approach aligns with Bengaluru FC’s desire to shift towards fluid, fast football.
✓ Leadership & calm temperament
Renedy has been praised for his ability to stabilize teams under pressure — a trait BFC needs after recent inconsistent seasons.
The ISL 2025-26 season begins soon, and Bengaluru FC are expected to:
- Refresh their squad with youth + experienced Indian players
- Bring in two or three new foreign signings
- Strengthen midfield creativity, which remained a weakness last season
- Build a stronger fitness and pressing structure
