#2 Sergio Lobera (Spain)

If attacking football is what India needs now, there would be no better option available than Sergio Lobera. Lobera is often considered as someone who has injected the much-needed Spanish attacking play into ISL.

Though coming with limited managerial experience, Lobera has proved his worth in India, from the 2 ISL seasons with FC Goa. Lobera has been able to guide Goa into the playoffs both these seasons. Also, the Spanish manager's club had the most goals scored in the 2017-18 season (42) and even this season, until now (35).

For the Gaurs, the 42-year-old has helmed in 34 games and won 16. With a good lineup of attacking players available for Indian recruit, including Ashique Kuruniyan, Lalrinzuala Chhangte and Udanta Singh, India's goal-scoring woes would end with the appointment of Lobera.

However, the coach still has a season left with the Goan outfit and it would be interesting to see whether he terminates his contract with Goa for the India job.
