The 2016 Mumbai City FC season will be the club's third season since its establishment in 2014 and their third season in the Indian Super League. This season will also be the first in which the club is coached by Costa Rican Alexandre Guimarães, replacing Nicolas Anelka who served as player-coach the previous season.[1]

Background

After the end of the 2014 ISL season, Mumbai City parted ways with their inaugural season head coach, Peter Reid. Soon after, Nicolas Anelka, the club's marquee from 2014, was named as the player-head coach for the 2015 season.[2] The season began for Mumbai City with a 3–1 loss to their Maharashtra rivals, Pune City on 5 October.[3] The team ended the season with only four wins through fourteen matches, three of which came in a row at the end of October. This resulted in Mumbai City finishing the season in sixth place in the standings, missing out on the finals by six points.[4]
