==Background==
{{Main|2022–23 Bengaluru FC season}}
In the previous season, the squad of Bengaluru was yet again overhauled with Englishman [[Simon Grayson]] at the helm accompanied by several fresh signings.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-06-08 |title=Bengaluru FC appoint Simon Grayson as head coach |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/indian-super-league/top-stories/bengaluru-fc-appoints-simon-grayson-as-head-coach/articleshow/92088001.cms |access-date=2023-08-14 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>
The freshly built squad went on to lift the [[2022 Durand Cup]], which was the club's maiden Durand Cup title.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-18 |title=Bengaluru FC beat Mumbai City FC to win first Durand Cup |url=https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/37632068/durand-cup-2022-bengaluru-fc-beat-mumbai-city-fc-win-trophy-sunil-chhetri |access-date=2023-08-14 |website=ESPN |language=en}}</ref> This also made Simon Grayson the fastest Bengaluru head coach to win a title, which took him only 102 days, beating the record of [[Carles Cuadrat]] who took 259 days. They would go on to finish as runners-up in the previous season of [[2022–23 Indian Super League season|ISL]] and in the [[2023 Indian Super Cup|Super Cup]].
