After staying a for another season with the club, the former La Liga star moved to FC Pune City but resigned following a difference in opinion with the board of directors in 2017.

After two years’ detachment with the Asian country, Habas has applied for the job as the head coach of the Indian national team.

This will be a big boost for him, especially for his managerial career. But it is still not sure whether the All India Football Federation (AIFF) will recruit him ahead of other contenders.

Having the likes of Antonio Lopez Habas will have several effects on the national team. First of all, he is a very disciplined coach and knows to bring out the best in a player.

His substitution in the final of the opening season back in 2014 was a masterstroke. The Spaniard brought on Mohammad Rafique in the latter stages of the match, who eventually scored the winning goal.
