4) Antonio Lopez Habas
Bengaluru's love for Spanish personnel is well known, and former ATK boss Antonio Lopez Habas may well turn out to be a worthy replacement for Roca. The Spaniard has managed 18 clubs in his career, spanning across an impressive 28 years. He has led clubs like Celta Vigo, Sporting Gijon, Granada and Valencia in Spain.
He made his managerial debut in 2014 when he was brought aboard by Indian Super League (ISL) side ATK (then known as Atletico De Kolkata) in the inaugural season of the franchise tournament. He led the Kolkata-based side to the title as well.
Habas continued with ATK in the second season, but could only manage a semifinal finish in 2015. In the succeeding season, another Indian Super League side FC Pune City got him on board. The Stallions finished a disappointing sixth in the eight-team event.
Habas is known for his possession-based style of football, a tactic Bengaluru FC are well versed in, thanks to Roca's two-year stint. Habas could well be the one to help Bengaluru continue their dominating performance, both in India and in Asia.
