Perfect time for me to return, says Pena

PANAJI
Carlos Pena, who was appointed as FC Gopa head coach recently, believes it’s the perfect time for him to return to the club. 

Speaking at his first press conference after being announced as the head coach, the Spaniard said, “In my opinion, I am fully prepared right now. I have all my energy focused on putting my knowledge to help FC Goa grow.” 

“In regards to what happened last season, I watched almost all of the games from last season. There were many issues which included the head coach departing midway. Derrick (Pereira) did his best to best to work with what he had. Looking at the last season, I feel it’s the perfect moment for me to come back and help the team,” Pena said.  

FC Goa has always been known to play an attacking brand of football and Pena said that he will look to do the same upon taking over the reins of the side.

“I will look to make the team play the football that FC Goa fans like. We will look to play attacking football. During my playing days as a full back, I have always enjoyed attacking all the time. And as a coach so far in my previous teams, I have been looking to do the same,” added Pena during the press conference.
