Hyderabad FC coach Manolo Marquez lauded praise on his squad after its fifth-place finish in the Indian Super League

Hyderabad FC coach Manolo Marquez says he is immensely proud of his boys after the team finished fifth in the seventh edition of the Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21).

The Nizams racked up 29 points from 20 games, winning six, losing three, and drawing the rest.

“It has been a very satisfying season for all of us at HFC. Yes, we need to be more ambitious and look beyond the next game only,” Marquez said during a media interaction here on Wednesday.

“The message to the boys was clear. Show that there is a change in the attitude and the fact that we came so close to making it to the semifinal (after the disappointment of finishing at the bottom of the table in the debut season last year) is proof of that,” he said.
