After the high of the ISL final in March, Chennaiyin FC was quick off the blocks in the preparation for its title defence. The club announced the following day that manager John Gregory would remain at the helm. The management was also quick to tie down the services of Mailson Alves and Gregory Nelson two days after their impressive performances against Bengaluru FC.
With the retention of Inigo Calderon in July, Chennaiyin has managed to hold together its core international members from last season with the exception of former skipper Henrique Sereno. In the absence of Sereno, Gregory has turned to centre back Alves to lead the side.
