ISL 2021-22: SC East Bengal sign Spanish midfielder Francisco Jose Sota

 

SC East Bengal has signed the services of Spanish midfielder Francisco Jose Sota in the ongoing eighth season of the Hero Indian Super League 2021-22 for the rest of the edition. Thus, the Red and Golden Brigade have bolstered their midfield with the signing.

The club took to their Twitter handle to confirm the news on Tuesday.

“We are happy to announce the signing of versatile Spanish midfielder Francisco Jose Sota on a short-term deal that will see him turn out for the red and gold brigade till the end of the season,” the club’s statement read.

Meanwhile, Sota has the experience of playing in lower divisions of Spanish football and this will be the first time when he will play in the subcontinent conditions. The Spanish players performed consistently in the Hero ISL over the years and Jose Sota will look to continue the same trend.

On the other hand, SC East Bengal is currently struggling in the ongoing season. East Bengal has managed a solitary win out of the 13 matches they have played. They have lost six matches while as many have been drawn. Thus, SC East Bengal is currently at the bottom of the points table with nine points under their bag.

SC East Bengal won their maiden match of the season after they defeated FC Goa by 2-1. However, they lost their last match by a huge margin of 4-0 against Hyderabad FC.

Francisco Jose Sota will look to add strength to SC East Bengal’s midfield and help the club turn the tables in their remaining seven league stage matches.

SC East Bengal will next lock horns against arch-rivals ATK Mohun Bagan on Saturday at the PJN Stadium, Fatorda in Kolkata derby. ATK Mohun Bagan had earlier won the previous fixture of the season against SC East Bengal by 3-0 in November.
