In a mutual decision, Bengaluru FC has announced the departure of English striker Curtis Main following a lackluster performance in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023–24. The team and Main have amicably agreed to part ways as Bengaluru FC shifts its focus towards securing a more potent striker to bolster their attacking prowess. Despite high expectations upon his arrival, Main fell short of the club’s standards, scoring only two goals and failing to meet the anticipated impact.
The Blues initially signed Main with great anticipation to fill the crucial No. 9 role, Main struggled to make a significant impact in the ongoing ISL campaign for the Blues. The team took to social media earlier today to confirm the departure of their English forward, expressing gratitude for his services and wishing him success in his future endeavors.
The decision to part ways was influenced by Main’s inability to establish a productive partnership with other Indian forwards. Bengaluru FC had hoped for a showcase of his goal-scoring abilities, but on-field challenges compelled the team to make the tough decision.
Bengaluru FC’s Future Plans
With the exit of Curtis Main, Bengaluru FC is now on the lookout for a new striker to inject much-needed offensive strength into the team. The management, along with head coach Gerard Zaragoza, is actively pursuing a replacement for the Englishman during the current transfer window. This strategic move aims to reverse the team’s fortunes from the previous season and elevate their standing in the 2023–24 ISL season.
Fans, eager for a comeback and a top-six finish in the upcoming season, await news of potential additions to the squad. Speculations arise about the impact that new players might bring, leaving supporters anticipating positive changes for Bengaluru FC.
