  •  Done. Yes, first action.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  08:21, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
• "The next day the club signed former fullback Lalramchullova back" No need to mention former when he's still playing as a fullback.
  • Here, former is intended as former player. He played for EB in 2018-19, then went to rival club in 2019-20. Again came back in 2020-21.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  08:21, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

• Background section seems to be missing significant departures.

• Or loans either, but I can see them interspersed in the ISL overview section.

• Because of the force majeure clause most of the contracts terminated at once. Also, after being released from club, not enough coverage regarding them. But, added few of them.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  08:40, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

• ALT1: ... that in 2020–21 season East Bengal became the first club to appoint a set-piece coach in India? Source: Goal

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Manjappada
• Comment: For ALT0, Quess was the previous investor. They had major control over club's football activities. And, they activated the clause. So, what to name: Quess East Bengal or just East Bengal?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Both hooks are approved. I prefer ALT0 because "set-piece coach" doesn't have a wikiarticle and I don't know what that is, so it might be confusing for other Main Page readers. I added "their" to ALT 0 for grammatical reasons. Z1720 (talk) 00:39, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
