New coach promises to follow winning mentality of the La Liga giant
SC East Bengal’s fans can expect the team to follow the winning mentality and attitude of Real Madrid when it embarks on its Indian Super League journey, according to its new coach Jose Manuel (Manolo) Diaz.
The Spanish coach, who replaces Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler in East Bengal’s second ISL season, said that his coaching methods will reflect much of what he has assimilated during his long association with the La Liga giant. Manolo had last coached the Real Madrid B side before accepting the East Bengal offer.
“Both of us come from Real Madrid and thus have a strong mentality. This means that we will be looking to win every match,” said Manolo’s assistant Angel Puebla, who did the translation for the head coach.
