Spanish manager Antonio Habas completed the ban he received last year and returned to the touchline for Pune on Sunday. The former Atletico de Kolkata manager was frustrated to see his team go through a bad phase from the stands and is hopeful that his arrival will change things for FC Pune City.
The Marathi club has a had poor season so far with just five points from five games. Even though the manager’s return to the touchline did not make much difference in Pune's game on Sunday, the team will be hoping to get back to winning ways soon.
Habas, who led Atletico de Kolkata to the title in the first season of the tournament, himself has admitted that there is work to be done with the team and he needs to start getting things done fast if they are to progress into the next round of the competition.
