East Bengal’s chances of getting Sergio Lobera is almost over. Hence the management has already started searching for alternative names. Two names are roaming around – Antonio Lopez Habas and Carlos Cuadrat.
According to sources, Carlos Cuadrat is ahead in this race.
Cuadrat had a phenomenal record in Indian Super League with Bengaluru FC in between 2018 to 2021. In his debut season, Bengaluru FC won the ISL for the first time. The season brought multiple records, including an 11-game undefeated run in the league and a six-game winning run. They became the first team to finish on top of the regular season twice in succession and the first team to win the title after finishing top in the league phase. In 2019–20, Bengaluru reached the ISL play-offs after finishing third in the league phase. Under Cuadrat, Bengaluru set new records in 2019–20, becoming the first team to keep 11 clean sheets and went on a 17-match unbeaten run at home, 2 full seasons not losing in their Kanteereva Stadium. Towards the end of the 2019–20 season, Bengaluru beat Paro FC 9–1 at the Kanteerava in the AFC Cup qualifiers; their biggest-ever win.
