\"footballChennai:<\/strong> Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC can confirm that they have retained Brazilian defender Eder Monteiro and goalkeeper Pawan Kumar.<\/p>\n

Eder, who has previously had spells in the top tier of Portugal, Greece and Cyprus, joined Chennaiyin last year on a free transfer but his campaign was hampered by injuries and he could only make two substitute appearances.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old from Sao Paolo joined I-League outfit Salgaocar after ISL and made 12 appearances. He re-joins CFC on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

Former I-League winner Pawan was signed by Chennaiyin on loan from I-League’s Mumbai FC to replace injured custodian Nidhinlal midway through the 2015 ISL season and the 26-year-old Punjabi went on to be a part of the ISL winning squad.<\/p>\n

Pawan made 11 appearances for Mumbai in the I-League and has now signed for Chennaiyin on a permanent deal.<\/p>\n

“Although Eder didn’t get to play much last year he had a positive influence in the dressing room and we hope to have him at his best this year. Pawan is a great lad and team player. We are happy to have him back,” said Chennaiyin FC coach Marco Materazzi.<\/p>\n

“I would like to thank the owners and coach Marco Materazzi for giving me another opportunity at Chennaiyin. The club and the fans were fantastic towards me even though I hardly played due to injuries. I am determined to prove myself and help the team win the trophy again,” said Eder.<\/p>\n

“After not being included in the draft last year I thought I would miss out from playing in the ISL but Chennaiyin showed faith in me and I am grateful to them for believing in me this year again. I know it will very difficult to break into the first 11 but I will work very hard and keep myself ready whenever the coach would need me,” Pawan stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
