Famous teams managed: Real Madrid B and Cordoba

A former Real Madrid player who won the domestic double in the 1979/80 season, Miguel Angel Portugal has been a manager for 22 years now.

This is not his first stint in India, having managed Delhi Dynamos in the 2017/18 season. But he could only manage an eighth-place finish with the club and manager parting ways by mutual consent this summer.

Pune City had a good run last season, reaching the semi-finals where they did give Bengaluru a scare with an away goal before Sunil Chhetri put the tie out of reach. But Ranko Popovic chose not to take charge for another year.

Portugal has been brought in to play an attacking brand of football as well. Most of the core such as Emiliano Alfaro and Marcelinho have extended their contracts while a number of other signings such as Iain Hume, Nikhil Poojari, and Robin Singh give him options.
