Bengaluru FC Appoints Pep Munoz as Head Coach Through 2027

The hire signals a shift to a high‑pressing, attacking style led by a coach with Barcelona roots.

Overview

  • Bengaluru FC named Spaniard Pep Munoz head coach on Thursday under a contract that runs through the 2026–27 season.
  • He takes charge at once with fellow Spaniard Ferran Borras joining the backroom staff.
  • Munoz worked in FC Barcelona’s youth teams, held roles in China, and won two league titles and a cup as head coach of Svay Rieng in Cambodia.
  • He said he wants a proactive team that attacks and presses, noting this ISL is a single‑header, shortened season.
  • Owner Parth Jindal cast the hire as a patient, values‑led build for a club that last won the ISL in 2018–19.
