Carles Cuadrat is not a new face in the Indian football circuit. He came to India in 2016 as an assistant to then Bengaluru FC head coach Albert Roca.
But in December 2017, the Blues parted ways with Cuadrat by mutual consent after the Spaniard conveyed his decision to step down from the post owing to health concerns.
However, he was soon back in the thick of things as Bengaluru FC appointed him as the head coach for the 2018–19 season, following the departure of Albert Roca.
