"We are very happy to have Bernard at the club for the third consecutive season. His class and experience were instrumental in our consistency in the first two campaigns. We look forward to another strong season from him," Chennaiyin FC head coach Marco Materazzi stated.

"I am delighted to be back at Chennaiyin and would like to thank the owners and Marco for giving me another opportunity to re-unite with my second family. I have had two memorable years at Chennaiyin with the highlight being celebrating with our Supermachans after returning with the trophy in Chennai," an ecstatic Mendy said from France.
