After securing their second title in three years, Bengaluru FC’s manager, Ashley Westwood, had hinted that his time at the club was up and that he would be moving on after his successful spell. And what Bengaluru FC’s fans’ feared the worst came true when it was confirmed that Westwood and BFC parted ways earlier this year after three trophy-laden years.

In July, Bengaluru FC announced the appointment of former Barcelona assistant manager, Albert Roca. The Spaniard has bags of experience in top-level football and was the assistant manager to Frank Rijkaard at Barcelona and Galatasaray.

A few months in and Roca has already impressed fans and pundits with his team’s quick passing and pressing; a departure from the robust English style of football that was played under the former manager, Ashely Westwood.

The early signs look good and it seems like Roca can take the club to the next level.
