We want our supporters to be proud of our team: Manolo Marquez

Our new Head Coach shares his plans for the upcoming season…

On the playing style that everyone can expect…

As a coach who has been heavily influenced by the Spanish game, I prefer to have my team follow a certain order, where all the players know what their role is. I like my team to be compact in terms of formations but at the same time, it’s about playing a good brand of attacking football, with offensive fullbacks and wingers. I want my team to be fighting for every ball. More importantly, I believe that modern football requires every team to be comfortable with different systems and that’s something we’ll look to have in our team as well.

On the goals and targets for the season…

The primary goal for me is that Hyderabad FC plays a good brand of football, something that our supporters will enjoy. Results are important as well and as a team, we must work towards improving ourselves in every training session, and our aim should be to win the maximum games. At the moment, the primary goal is to try and arrive in fantastic shape for the first game. The league has 18 games, and it’s important to have a strong start.

A message for the fans…

The fans and supporters are the most important thing for a football club. We want our supporters to be proud of our team. We know that we will be playing behind closed doors, given the current situation, but we also know that they will be supporting us at all times. We have to represent entire Hyderabad and Telangana and keep playing good football.
