The Brazilian will continue with the Stallions for another campaign after a successful first term.

The Rajesh Wadhawan Group and Bollywood star Arjun Kapoor co-owned Indian Super League (ISL) club FC Pune City today announced retaining their skipper Marcelinho for the 2018-19 season. One of the top scorers for the club, Marcelinho led the team from the front to a historic first semi-finals appearance.

Speaking on the bringing back the Brazilian winger, FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said, “You can’t let go the best you have. In Marcelinho, we not only have an impressive footballer but also a great team player and leader par excellence. His performance created a lasting impression on both the club and the fans alike and we are confident he will continue from where he left last season.”

During his last outing with FC Pune City he scored eight goals in 17 appearances including a stunning hat-trick against NorthEast United FC. Besides he also made seven assists with his energetic runs showing his tendency to feed the ball well across the team. With Emiliano Alfaro announced last week to join FC Pune City, Marcelinho would look to re-ignite the fiery partnership with his Latin American teammate.
