Our guest on the 12th episode of the Beyond The Scores podcast is a popular name in Indian football. A product of the famed La Masia academy, he had a decent career as a footballer. However, he has found more success as a coach. He guided Bengaluru FC to their first and only Indian Super League title. He also won the Super Cup with BFC.  But apart from the trophies, he brought a massive change in Bengaluru's playing style.
