Subhas Bhowmick will continue as the club’s technical director.

The decision was on expected lines as East Bengal had roped in Bhowmick to assist Jamil after their poor fourth-place finish in the I-League.

Having guided Aizawl FC to their maiden I-League triumph, Jamil was roped in amid fanfare with a two-year contract.

But the contract had a clause that allowed both parties to part ways after six months with a notice period of two months
