Odisha FC assistant head coach Jacobo Ramallo believes that the side has brought in maturity and experience ahead of the upcoming Hero ISL season. They look to foster growth and development this season while achieving every target. Ramallo and Josep Gombau are back at the helm of Odisha FC after leaving the club before the start of the 2020/21 season.
“I’m incredibly happy to be back here. Since the very beginning when we left, we knew we were coming back, and that’s something I told the Juggernauts. I’m also happy this season as football is returning to Bhubaneswar, at the Kalinga Stadium, so I think it’s a beautiful season for everyone,” Odisha FC assistant head coach Jacobo Ramallo said. “That’s interesting because it was a hard and tough message that Josep sent to everyone, and I did like it. He said this club is not like a stopover or a step back for anyone to jump into something, this club is a place to challenge absolutely every single opposition team we have in the Hero ISL.”
“First of all, the club wanted to rename Josep [Gombau] as the head coach, and since we are a beautiful, nice, married couple, I decided to join him. It is true that the club has improved. That first season when we were here in Bhubaneshwar, we were playing many games away, and it was the first year for the club, so everything was more difficult than it is now,” he added. “I can’t speak for myself but if we compare that very first season here with today, the standard of the club has increased a lot. The training sessions, the people in the club, the coaching staff, the structure, everything has improved in the last two or three years.”
