Bengaluru FC on Wednesday announced the appointment of Englishman Simon Grayson as the club's head coach on a two-year contract ahead of the 2022-23 Indian Super League season. Grayson, who has over 500 appearances as a player in England's top division sides, moved into coaching in 2004. He has managed seven clubs so far. "When I spoke to the owner, his mind-set was the same as mine. I want this club to be winning trophies again. I am aware that BFC has been very successful in the past but the last few years haven't worked out like everybody would have liked it to," Grayson was quoted as saying in a media release.
