Former Indian Super League champions Bengaluru FC have announced that they have parted ways with their long-time Spanish defender Juanan Gonzalez.
Bengaluru FC in a tweet wrote, “Bengaluru FC can confirm that the club has mutually agreed to part ways with Spanish defender Juan Gonzalez.”
“The club would like to put on record its immense gratitude for Juanan’s contributions over the last five seasons, and we wish him well for the future.”
The 34 year old Juanan had been Bengaluru FC’s longest-serving foreign footballer, who had joined the club ahead of their historic run to the 2016 AFC Cup final.
Having turned out for Real Madrid’s Castilla side after a youth career at Real Mallorca and San Francisco, Juanan traveled to Germany, Hungary and the USA where he represented Fortuna Düsseldorf, Ujpest Budapest and Rayo OKC respectively.
A no-nonsense defender with a penchant for scoring at important moments, Juanan netted the Blues’ third and final goal against Johor Darul Ta’zim in their 3-1 AFC Cup semifinal win at the Fortress in October 2016.
Juanan has taken to Bengaluru like a fish to the water, imbibing as much of the culture as possible in his five years at the club. His love for the club and city saw Juanan etch one of its famous monuments, the Shiva Temple, to his sleeve as a tattoo.
