ISL 2020-21: Antonio Habas’ teams should start taking initiatives early in the season

The Spanish need to rethink his methodology in order to top the league tables...

Antonio Habas is one of the most successful coaches in Indian football in recent times. The Spanish coach has won the Indian Super League (ISL) title twice and has guided his teams to the play-off twice in five seasons of his coaching stint in the league so far.

Yet the veteran coach has often been on the receiving end of criticism for being too pragmatic and not playing attacking football which the purists of the game appreciate.

It is true that Habas values more the end result than the means to achieve it.
