Sporting Clube de Goa Coach Óscar Bruzón Barreras was all smiles on Sunday as he marked his first anniversary of making his debut as a Professional Coach in the I-League with Sporting Clube de Goa, exactly a year ago.
The thirty-six year old Spaniard’s first game in charge was against ONGC on December 8, 2012, where the match ended in a respectable 2-2 draw, after the Flaming Oranje came back from two goals down at half time to earn a valuable point.
