Kolkata: Indian Super League (ISL) defending champions Atletico de Kolkata (ATK) on Wednesday roped in Helder Postiga as their marquee footballer for the upcoming season, starting in October.
The 32-year-old has represented Portugal in two World Cups and three European Championships, helping his team reach the Euro 2004 final. Postiga last played for Spanish club Deportivo de La Coruña as a striker.
“The presence of Postiga will definitely bolster the team for the season ahead and also allow the Indian and international players to learn from him about the way he goes about preparing for a major tournament like ISL,” ATK head coach Antonio Lopez Habas said.
“He will have an altogether different experience when he plays in front of Kolkata’s football aficionados. I am sure Postiga’s presence will make the city and ATK fans proud.”
