#4 A new coach who has operated at the highest level
Goa's faithful always considered Zico to be a legend and that will never change. He ensured The Gaurs played some wonderful football over the course of the three years that he was in charge.
But the writing was on the wall. FC Goa lacked the hunger and desire necessary to win a title and it was evident in their gameplay last season. Understandably, the club decided to part ways with Zico.
The management has replaced him with an equally adept coach in Sergio Lobera. The Spaniard is only 40 years old and has served as FC Barcelona's assistant manager under Tito Vilanova's reign. Add to that, he has also managed La Liga outfit Las Palmas from 2012-14. It's safe to say, Goa are in good hands this season.
