Eduardo Berizzo is the most experience among all the other names listed here, even though he has never been in India. He is a perfect long-term choice for the inconsistent club.

Berrizo has worked at numerous clubs, notably in Spain. There, he has helmed the likes of FC Sevilla and Celta Vigo!

Eduardo Berizzo was also the assistant coach of the Chilean national team between 2007 and 2010, besides having served at numerous Latin American clubs including O'Higgins (Chile) and Estudiantes LP (Argentina).

Berizzo is a highly reputed coach. He was sought after by Celta Vigo back in 2014 to replace the Barcelona-bound Luis Enrique. He led the club to the semifinals of Europa League in the 2016-17 season. As for Sevilla, he replaced Jorge Sampaoli, who was appointed the head coach of the Argentinian national team.

Berizzo's last task was Athletic Bilbao, also in Spain's top flight. He was relieved of his duties on 4th December after winning just two of the fifteen competitive matches played.

Berizzo would make a perfect Blasters coach. Besides all his achievements, he is from Latin America (the world's most passionate place for football).

Well, Kerala has India's most passionate fans. What a suitable bride for the groom!
