Indian Super League star Manolo Marquez coached FC Goa. It was already certain that Marquez, who led Hyderabad FC to the ISL playoffs in the last two seasons, will not be staying there. Meanwhile, FC Goa has made a decisive move and brought him as a coach. The Bridge reports that Marquez will sign a one-year deal with FC Goa. There are indications that there will be an official announcement regarding the contract soon.

Marquez, who has experience working with Spanish giants Espanyol and La Palmas, will come to India as the coach of Hyderabad FC in 2020. Hyderabad has become one of the best teams in FCISL under Marquez’s tutelage. Marquez played a vital role behind Hyderabad becoming FCISL champions for the first time in their history in the 2021-22 season.

He also led the team in a good way in the 2022-23 season. Hyderabad led to the playoffs as the runners-up in the league stage, but the team fell to ATK Mohun Bagan in the semi-finals. Marquez had a contract with Hyderabad FC until May this year. But speaking at a press conference after the season, Marquez revealed that he had received offers from India and abroad.
