Renedy Singh

Like many other Indian internationals, Renedy is a graduate of the Tata Football Academy in Jamshedpur. He spent six years there before signing his first professional contract with Kolkata giants East Bengal in 1997. Renedy's performances from midfield with the Red and Gold brigade quickly earned him his first senior international cap in 1999, when he was only 20. By 2000, Renedy established himself as one of the best freekick takers in the country and was signed by Mohun Bagan. The midfielder played an influential role in their 2001-02 National League triumph. Injuries led to a dip in his form, leading to his departure from Mohun Bagan in 2004. He subsequently joined Chirag United (then known as Everyday) who were not in the top flight. After a season at Chirag United, Renedy joined JCT FC in 2005. Renedy and Sunil Chhetri were prominent figures in the JCT squad, and played a key role in helping the finish second and third in National Football League 2006-2007 and I-League 2007–08. Renedy joined East Bengal for the second time in his career in 2008, but was never a regular because of injuries and lack of match fitness. However, he was able to play a big role in a number of Kolkata derbies, by providing assists with his set-piece delivery. While at East Bengal in 2009, his team-mate Sunil Chhetri claimed that Renedy was "the best midfielder in the country" and was also "the most under-rated".

After a forgettable 2010 season with East Bengal, he was released by the club.…

Renedy was a regular for India from 1998 until 2011, as his ability to cross the ball with both feet made him a valuable asset. He appeared in the 2002 World Cup Qualifiers, where the Indian team defeated teams like the UAE, Brunei and Yemen. India secured 11 points from 6 matches (the same as Yemen), but finished behind them due to an inferior goal difference. He was a vital part of the Indian team that won the Nehru Cup International Football Tournament 2007 and also the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup. Renedy set up both Indian goals against Bahrain in the 2011 Asian Cup in an eventual 5–2 loss.

On 12 March 2019, Singh was appointed manager of I-League club NEROCA. He later went on to ISL club East Bengal as assistant coach. After his stint at East Bengal, Bengaluru FC roped in Renedy as their new assistant coach. Following the departure of Gerard Zaragoza on 14 November 2025, Renedy was announced as interim coach of the club. Eventually, on 14 January 2026, Bengaluru announced Renedy as the club's head coach for the 2026 season.
