ISL 2022-23: ATK Mohun Bagan’s vision, philosophy and mentality convinced Florentin Pogba to join: Juan Ferrando

 

ATK Mohun Bagan head coach Juan Ferrando revealed the club’s vision, philosophy and mentality convinced Florentin Pogba to join hands with the team. Pogba has signed a two-year contract with the Mariners ahead of the ninth season of the Hero Indian Super League.

Pogba has played in countries like Turkey, France, and the USA and he has all the experience under his belt. Pogba played 33 matches in Ligue 2 in the previous season 2021-22.

Florentin is the elder brother of Paul Pogba, the French International player, who played for Manchester United in the last season. The Guinea International had earlier said he is happy to join the biggest Indian club.

“After the AFC Cup matches, we started looking for a left-footed center-back. Florentin’s attributes were ideal for our style of football. We have been following him, watching his games for his former team and inquired about him in recent months,” the Spaniard told indiansuperleague.com.

“He is an aggressive defender who can dominate on the pitch. On top of that, he has the ability to help us build up from the back and also take up attacking positions when required,” he added.

Pogba was playing in Ligue 2 and thus the Spaniard reckons it was not easy for him to make the move. However, the 31-year-old was convinced after he came to know about the team’s strategies.

“Definitely, it wasn’t easy to get a player like him, who was actively playing and playing well in the French 2nd division. But once we told him about our club’s vision, philosophy and mentality, and discussed our future goals,  Florentin was more than convinced,” Ferrando said.

There is no doubt that Pogba will add value to the team’s defense and he will look to grab his chances in his maiden season of the tournament.
