Ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Super League (ISL 2023-24), Mumbai City FC have officially announced that left-back Mandar Rao Dessai will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of this month, concluding a successful three-year stint with the Islanders.
Mandar arrived at Mumbai City FC in October 2020, making the move from FC Goa. The Goan-born defender was an instrumental part of the Islanders’ side that created history by winning an unprecedented ‘double’ of the ISL League Winners’ Shield and the ISL Trophy in the 2020-21 campaign.

After 52 appearances across three memorable seasons, Mandar leaves as one of Mumbai City FC’s most decorated players.
