#3 FC Goa: Sergio Lobera
Famous teams managed: Barcelona C and Las Palmas
There was a lot to write home about FC Goa last season. They were one of the most outstanding teams at the start of the season and looked all set to top the table too.
However, a winless run of five games in the second half of the season eventually saw them finish third and get eliminated in the semi-finals. It was a disappointing end to the campaign for the team that scored more goals than any other club (42 goals in 18 matches).
As for his style of play, it is in synch with Barcelona's philosophy. He was considered to be Tito Vilanova's assistant after all before he took up a coaching job at Las Palmas.
Goa were also the only side to complete more than 10,000 passes last season while they also topped the shots chart with 262 shots on goal. Can he refine this side and take them to the top of the table? And maybe all the way this season?
