After a disastrous 2018-19 season, Chennaiyin FC will be aiming to get back to winning ways in the upcoming 2019-20 Indian Super League campaign. Placed under John Gregory, the Marina Machans will be hoping to emulate past success. The two-time ISL champions begin their campaign with an away fixture against FC Goa on October 23, which will be a litmus test of their preparations. Their last season was in complete chaos, finishing at the bottom of the table after two wins, three draws and 13 defeats. The club released key players like Mailson Alves and Raphael Augusto, which could hurt the team’s rigidity this season.
