Banerjee, known for having incredible partnership with Chuni Goswami and Tulsidas Balaram, is one of the "Indian football's holy trinity".[53][54][55][56][57] Recurring injuries forced him to drop out of the national team and subsequently to his retirement in 1967.[58]
After retirement, Banerjee went to Japan and attended the earliest known coaching course conducted by FIFA in 1969, under German coach Dettmar Cramer, and gained a first-Class degree.[59] As one of the finest coaches in the history of Indian football, Banerjee came to be known for his inspirational pep talk to players termed as "vocal tonic" before games.[60] He managed India national team at the 1970 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand and led them clinching bronze medal.[61][62][63] In that tournament, he had players like captain Syed Nayeemuddin, Sukalyan Ghosh Dastidar, Shyam Thapa, Mohammed Habib, Magan Singh. The next year in 1971, he gave India an international title, winning Pesta Sukan Cup in Singapore.[64]
Banerjee began his coaching career in Bata SC, and then went on to manage his older club Eastern Railway.[4] His first big coaching stint came with East Bengal, joining the Kolkata giant as manager in 1972.[65] Throughout Banerjee's managerial career, he would frequently return to manage East Bengal.He managed East Bengal when they trounced arch rival Mohun Bagan 5–0 in the 1975 IFA Shield final, the biggest ever margin in Kolkata derbies.[66][67] He managed Mohun Bagan in the historic match against a star-studded New York Cosmos spearheaded by Pelé on 24 September 1977,[68][69][70][71] in which both the teams shared honours as the match ended 2–2.[72] Under his guidance, Mohun Bagan's performance against the American club featuring Pelé, Carlos Alberto Torres and Giorgio Chinaglia, earned popularity worldwide.[73]
In 1976, Banerjee joined Mohun Bagan, guiding the club to a historic feat, winning the IFA Shield, Rovers Cup and Durand Cup respectively to achieve their first-ever triple-crown triumph in one season. He became the national coach in 1972, starting with the qualifying matches of the 1972 Munich Olympics. He went on to coach the Indian Football Team till 1986.[5]
At the 1982 Asian Games held in New Delhi, Banerjee managed India national team and took Syed Shahid Hakim as assistant manager.[74] In 1983, he came back to East Bengal and managed a until 1984, and again in 1985.[75][76][77] He gave them a Federation Cup, which let the club qualified for 1985–86 Asian Club Championship.[78] As part of Central Asia Zone (tournament was named "Coca-Cola Cup"), his team defeated New Road Team of Nepal by 7–0 to start their campaign, where Biswajit Bhattacharya netted four goals, also beat Dhaka Abahani 1–0, Club Valencia 9–0. That 9–0 result against the Maldivian outfit is still the biggest margin of victory by an Indian team over any foreign opponents.[79] Banerjee led the East Bengal to sixteen major trophies in four seasons which included four Calcutta League titles, four IFA Shield titles, three Rovers Cup titles, two DCM trophies, two Bordoloi Trophy wins and one Durand Cup title.[80] His one of the finest Kolkata Derby games as head coach of East Bengal was the semi-final of 1997 Federation Cup, one of the most anticipated matches in Indian football history, in which he guided the club in front of 131,000+ spectators at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan,[81][82][83] a 4–1 win against Amal Dutta's Mohun Bagan.[84][85][86][87]
He joined the Tata Football Academy in Jamshedpur and served as its technical director from 1991 to 1997.[88] Banerjee was awarded the player of the Millennium in 2005 by FIFA. He had also won the International Fair Play Award from the Olympic Committee, a feat that is yet to be repeated by any Indian footballer. In 1999, he again took up the post of the technical director of the Indian Football team.[89] He also became coach of Mohammedan Sporting in 2003, and then served as technical director of the club.[90][23]
Banerjee died on 20 March 2020 at a hospital in Kolkata.[4] He was suffering from chest infection for a few weeks. He is survived by his two daughters Paula and Purna. His brother Prasun Banerjee is also a renowned footballer who captained India.[98]
