Ahead of the upcoming season of the Indian Super League (ISL 2024-25), Bengaluru FC parted ways with defender Shankar Sampingiraj, the club announced through its social media outlets on Saturday.
Sampingiraj joined the Blues in the last summer transfer window and was featured in seven ISL games in the 2023–24 season. The 29-year-old defender had been a part of this team in his early days while the club was used to playing in the I League.
During his time with Bengaluru FC, Sampingiraj didn’t feature regularly, as he clocked only 447 minutes on the pitch. He averaged 30 passes per game, made five interceptions, and won 21 duels while helping his club keep a clean sheet.
