Kings coach Mario Gomez arrived today

Bashundhara Kings’ new head coach Roberto Carlos Mario Gomez arrived today to take charge ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The Argentine has vast experience, having worked alongside Hector Cuper at Mallorca, Valence and Inter Milan, reaching multiple European finals. As head coach, he managed clubs across Argentina, Greece, Equator, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia. His biggest success came with Johor Darul Ta’zim, guiding them to the historic 2015 AFC Cup title and a domestic treble.

Kings, who recently qualified for the main road of the AFC Challenge League, will compete in five domestic tournaments this season including Bangladesh Challenge Cup, Bangladesh Premier League, Federation Cup, Independence Cup amd Super Cup.

After a disappointing league campaign last year, they hope to bounce back strongly under Gomez’s leadership.
