A legend at Portuguese club FC Porto where he spent 12 full seasons and won 24 trophies - including the Champions League under Jose Mourinho - Jorge Costa has been a manager for 12 years now.

Mumbai City finished seventh last season - a poor season compared to their table-topping campaign in 2016. Alexandre Guimaraes and the club parted ways by mutual consent this summer and the club brought Costa on board.

However, unlike Mourinho, Costa is a manager who will go all out for all three points. His philosophy is to play attacking football and have the fans go back home happy.

Costa has signed Brazilian attacking midfielder Rafael Bastos - a player he managed at Cluj - to implement that. But his approach also ensures that foreign players won't necessarily be granted a starting berth if the local players step up.
