The 2021–22 season is the club's second season since the merger in 2020, and their second season in the Indian Super League.[1] The club though initially participated in the 123rd edition of the Calcutta Football League, later withdrew before the start of their campaign.[2][3]
Background[]
The ISL announced a rule limiting the number of foreign players, which would go in effect from the 2021–22 season.[4] The club began the season with the signing of Hyderabad FC player Liston Colaco for an undisclosed fee, which is believed to be around $161,000.[5] Finnish International Joni Kauko became their next signing which was completed just a few days after Finland were knocked out of the UEFA Euro 2020.[6] On July 8, the club announced the signing of Hugo Boumous from Mumbai City FC on a record transfer fee which is believed to be $280,000 in a first time ever in India, a 5-year deal.[7][8] On the other hand, ATK Mohun Bagan defender Sandesh Jhingan moved to Croatia after agreeing to a free transfer deal with HNK Šibenik.[citation needed]
ATK Mohun Bagan kicked-off their AFC Cup 2021 campaign with a victory against their national rivals Bengaluru FC by 2-0 as captain Roy Krishna and Subhasish Bose found the back of the net.[9][10] On 21 August, ATK Mohun Bagan registered their 2nd win of the AFC Cup 2021 campaign with a win over Maziya S&RC by 3–1.[11] On 24 August, the club produced a 1–1 draw against Bangladesh champions Bashundhara Kings to advance to the inter-zonal semi-final of AFC Cup.[12] On 22 September, ATK Mohun Bagan ended their AFC Cup campaign with a heavy defeat of 0–6 against FC Nasaf in the inter-zonal semi-final.
In September, the club mutually agreed to terminate the contract of their first choice goalkeeper, Arindam Bhattachary, who also won the Golden Glove in the previous season, and moved to their city rivals, SC East Bengal. On 19 November, the club began its 2021–22 ISL season with a high scoring win of 4–2 against Kerala Blasters FC as Hugo Boumous scored a brace, while Roy Krishna and Liston Colaco scored a goal each. After a successful Derby win, ATK Mohun Bagan had its biggest defeat in ISL till then, on their third matchday against Mumbai City FC by 5–1. The effect of the big setback continued as the team lost the next match against Jamshedpur FC and drew the matches against Chennaiyin FC and Bengaluru FC. On 18 December, Antonio Habas announced his resignation from the duties as the team's head coach. After a numerous speculations, on the next evening, FC Goa president announced that their serving head coach, Juan Ferrando had decided to join ATK Mohun Bagan, through a buy-out clause. This move made him the highest paid coach in the ISL and also set a new record in the Indian football transfer history. Ferrando joined the camp on 21 December and faced NorthEast United FC the same evening, which ended with his first win as the ATK Mohun Bagan head coach.

Notes[]
- ^ 2022 AFC Cup: Since Mumbai City, the 2020–21 Indian Super League regular season premiers, are also the 2020–21 Indian Super League playoffs winners, ATK Mohun Bagan, the 2020–21 Indian Super League regular season runners-up, qualify for the 2022 AFC Cup playoff round.
- ^ CFL: ATK Mohun Bagan on 28 August 2021 officially informed the CFL organising body, Indian Football Association, that the club will skip the 2021-22 CFL Premier Division A, due to the clash of AFC Cup Inter-Zonal Playoff Semi-final occurring on 22 September 2021 with the CFL matches. The club also found the danger of having players either injured or getting covid positive due the lack of bio bubbles in the CFL tournament, who have already returned to their respective homes, or have joined the national team camp during the international break. Therefore IFA decided to give walkover to the opposition teams facing ATK Mohun Bagan.[17] Head Coach Habas also returned to Spain and said the need of a break by the players after the 3 AFC Cup group stage matches involving intense and painstaking work in 7 days.[16][3]
