FC Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel said, “You can’t let go the best you have. In Marcelinho, we not only have an impressive footballer, but also a great team player and leader par excellence”.
“His performance created a lasting impression on both the club and the fans alike and we are confident he will continue from where he left the last season,” Modwel added.
During his last outing with FC Pune City Marcelinho scored eight goals in 17 appearances, including a stunning hat-trick against NorthEast United FC.
