Indian Super League (ISL) franchise FC Pune City has signed one of the League’s most decorated goalkeepers, Edel Bete, for the 2016 edition of the tournament, to be played later this year.
Bete, a top-notch custodian, played with last season’s champions Chennaiyin FC and was a part of defending champions Atletico de Kolkata in the inaugural season of the ISL.
Habas was also delighted to have his former ward join forces at FC Pune City.
“I’ve worked with Bete in the first season and let me tell you he is gifted with amazing reflexes and better anticipation. Rival strikers have never found it easy to score against him. For me, he is the finest keeper in ISL’s short history,” said the coach.
Bete was once been a member of French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
The 30-year-old, who was born and raised in Cameroon, has dual nationality, but represented Armenia at U-19, U-23 and senior level. He also represented multiple times Israeli champions Hapoel Tel Aviv from 2011-2013.
