Nigerian forward Daniel Chima Chukwu finds himself back under the tutelage of familiar coach Owen Coyle. After a brief stint with East Bengal during the COVID season, Chukwu moved to Jamshedpur FC in January 2022, playing 10 matches under Coyle's guidance. Notably, Jamshedpur went on to win the ISL League Shield that very season.

Now, with Coyle at the helm of Chennaiyin FC, Chukwu has been retained for the upcoming season, marking a reunion between the player and coach. This move suggests Coyle's trust in Chukwu's abilities and potentially hints at replicating the winning formula established at Jamshedpur.

Chukwu's experience playing under Coyle and his proven goal-scoring prowess with East Bengal (though limited) could be valuable assets for Chennaiyin FC. Whether this reunion translates to on-field success remains to be seen, but it certainly adds an interesting dynamic to the upcoming ISL season.
