Indian Super League (ISL) club East Bengal FC have secured the services of last season’s Durand Cup and League Shield-winning Spanish defender Hector Yuste for the 2024–25 season. The seasoned centre-back will be the club’s sixth foreigner for the upcoming season.
Welcoming Yuste to the East Bengal FC family, Mr Vibhash Vardhan Agarwal said, “Hector (Yuste) was one of the standout defenders of last season’s ISL. His immense experience competing in La Liga and La Liga 2 will add more depth to our backline. We are delighted to welcome another title-winning player to our team who is very eager to wear the Red and Gold shirt.”
East Bengal FC head coach Carles Cuadrat commented, “Hector (Yuste) will help us greatly with his experience of playing in top European and Asian competitions. His ability to handle the pressure and demands of big games and finals makes him a valuable asset. Yuste has been part of many champion teams during his long career. He has been playing over 3,000 minutes season after season while leading the defensive systems of all the clubs he has represented. Yuste’s experience of playing in India in the previous season will help him adapt faster to the conditions.”
