Mahmoud Al Amna was an important member of the Khalid Jamil managed Aizawl FC side which had scripted history by winning the I-League in the 2016-17 season against all odds.
The minnows did the unthinkable under the tutelage of the Mumbai-based coach and Amna played a crucial role in that team.
The next season, the Syrian followed Jamil to join East Bengal where they won the Calcutta Football League (CFL), finished fourth in the I-League and lost to Bengaluru FC in the final of the inaugural Super Cup in Bhubaneswar.
