Chennaiyin FC Complete squad for ISL 2026-27 season
Clifford Miranda’s Chennaiyin look to restore their place among ISL title contenders
Chennaiyin FC are set to kick off their 2026-27 Indian Super League campaign against the Gaurs at the Fatorda Stadium in Goa. Former FC Goa gaffer Clifford Miranda is set to continue as the head coach of Chennaiyin FC.
The Marina Machans had a terrible outing last season, finishing just one spot above the relegation zone. The former champions of India won just two games out of 13 matches.
Ahead of the new season, the Marina Machans have roped in French midfielder Madih Talal and Serbian Nikola Stojanovic from Jamshedpur FC. To bolster the defence, they roped in Emmanuel Imanishimwe from Rwanda and Nuno Reis.
Brison Fernandes, Glan Martins and Ayush Dev Chhetri have joined Chennaiyin from FC Goa. Dippendu Biswas came from Mohun Bagan, whereas Namgyal Bhutia joined from Bengaluru FC.
They will play their first three games away from home against Goa, Bengaluru and Mohun Bagan before hosting Kerala Blasters at home for their first home game.
