Kolkata, July 22 (PTI): Two-time ISL champions Atletico de Kolkata has been rechristened to ATK, expanding to 'Amar Tomar Kolkata (Yours and Mine Kolkata), after the end of their partnership with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, principal owner Sanjiv Goenka said today. It may be officially registered as Atletico de Kolkata, but after their dissociation with the Spanish team who have not "invested a penny", the Kolkata franchise it seems is not keen on expanding their team name. Goenka never expanded ATK at the team's first media interaction ahead of season four, while the official media statement also mentioned the team name as ATK'. "The name of the team is the name of the team. We are ATK. The full form is Atletico de Kolkata but it's also 'Amar Tomar Kolkata' (which means yours and mine Kolkata)," Goenka said on the eve of the Indian Players' Draft that will be in Mumbai. Surprisingly, however, ATK will continue to don the red- and-white stripes, the Atletico Madrid colours, also unveiled at the team's first media interaction ahead of season four, and on the eve of the Indian Players' Draft. On the investments front, Goenka said he would buy ATK's 25 per cent stakes becoming the principal owner of the side which is also co-owned by Utsav Parekh, Harsh Neotia, and former India captain Sourav Ganguly. "Let me be very up front. Atletico de Madrid have not invested a penny till date. It was anyways funded by us not them." Moving on from their Spanish partnership, ATK will have a distinct English flavour this season with former Manchester United forward Teddy Sheringham as head coach and I-League winning coach Ashley Westwood as technical director who were also unveiled as the media interaction. "Teddy and Ashley bring in experience, success and strategy along with vision. You will see the team as we along. You will see our performance."
