In the previous season, the squad of Bengaluru was yet again overhauled with Englishman Simon Grayson at the helm accompanied by several fresh signings.[6] The freshly built squad went on to lift the 2022 Durand Cup, which was the club's maiden Durand Cup title.[7] This also made Simon Grayson the fastest Bengaluru head coach to win a title, which took him only 102 days, beating the record of Carles Cuadrat who took 259 days. They would go on to finish as runners-up in the previous season of ISL and in the Super Cup.
