NorthEast United FC had begun the last season as underdogs, but had made it to the play-offs after Khalid Jamil took charge of the side.  

The team that had just two wins in 11 matches under then manager Gerard Nus, went on a 10-match unbeaten run to its road to the play-offs under the former East Bengal manager. Khalid will look to improve on the team which lost out narrowly to eventual champion Mumbai City FC with a 3-2 loss. 

The squad’s most important playmaker will be Uruguayan Federico Gallego who provided six assists last season.
