The Nigerian, who coached Atlantis FC of Helsinki in Finland, said he was aware of the club's reputation and that he would do his best to bring back the fans.
"I'm aware of the club's history. It has a huge fan base in India. I hope I can live up to the expectations. I would request the fans to be patient and look at the progress we are making.
The side roped in high-profile striker Tolgay Ozbey, playmaker Penn Orji and defender Luciano Sabrosa and the Nigerian said the trio would be his main weapons.
"I've seen their videos, we have some quality players in our ranks. The trio would be our main weapon. I'm looking forward to work with them," he said.
As the pre-season acitivity is on in full swing, rival club Mohun Bagan meanwhile unveiled new Japanese recruit Katsumi Yusa.
The medio is hopeful of forming a partnership with their star Nigerian player Odafa Okolie.
"Odafa is known as the goal machine. If he scores, there's no looking back and I'm looking forward to do well and supply him," he said.
