Goa, India – In a move that signals continuity and belief in long-term leadership, FC Goa has officially confirmed that Manolo Márquez will remain as the club’s Head Coach for the upcoming 2025–26 season.
The announcement comes after Márquez successfully steered the Gaurs through two highly competitive Indian Super League (ISL) campaigns, helping re-establish the club’s footballing identity and earning widespread respect for his tactical acumen and squad development.
A Proven Track Record in India
Before joining FC Goa, Márquez had already made a name for himself in Indian football, most notably with Hyderabad FC, where he clinched the ISL title. With FC Goa, he brought tactical discipline, attacking flair, and a clear footballing philosophy that translated into consistent performances on the pitch.
Under his leadership, the Gaurs have shown steady growth — both in results and in player development. From nurturing young Indian talent to crafting a balanced squad, Márquez has played a pivotal role in shaping FC Goa’s modern footballing narrative.
Club’s Statement:
“We are delighted to confirm that Manolo Márquez will continue as our Head Coach. His professionalism, deep understanding of the game, and connection with the team and fans make him the ideal leader as we aim for greater heights in the upcoming season.”
What It Means for the Gaurs
This marks Márquez’s third straight season in charge of FC Goa, a rare show of coaching continuity in Indian football. With pre-season preparations underway, the club can now focus on strategic signings, youth development, and building further on the strong foundation he has laid.
For the fans, it means more of the energetic, possession-based football that has become a hallmark of the team under his watch.
As FC Goa prepares for the 2025–26 ISL season, all eyes will be on Manolo Márquez — the man trusted to lead the charge once again.
