If there is one coach in Indian football in recent times who deserves to win accolades it has to be Sergio Lobera and on Sunday, the Spaniard finally got to touch silverware after spending four seasons in the Indian Super League (ISL).
Lobera had come agonisingly close to win his maiden title last season with FC Goa only to part ways with the club just three matches before the league stage ended. Goa eventually won the League Winners Shield title but it was interim coach Clifford Miranda whose name got associated with the trophy in the history books.
