#3 Franco Colomba
The ex-Pune City FC manager was sacked after failing to take the club out of the groups stages and into the playoffs last season. The Italian is often considered an eccentric genius, who has had 20 different jobs in his managerial career.
He was also famously known for being the manager who would play and remove his own son from the pitch whenever he felt like it. His son Davide Colomba played for Pune City FC under him after both son and father were signed together.
After his sacking at Pune, he moved to Lega Pro outfit Livorno Calcio, where he lasted a mere 26 days. Before joining them he was also linked with Leyton Orient.
The experience, however, shouldn’t put off the Italian manager, who is known to bounce back from similar setbacks. The return of the enigmatic Italian to the ISL would follow a lot of fan fare, and his rather vocal and aggressive appearance down on the touchline is sure to rally the fans into supporting the cause.
