Mumbai Football Club has named Oscar Bruzon as its new head coach after parting ways with Santosh Kashyap mid-season. The latter was sacked after helming the team for 14 matches this season. Mumbai FC has four matches remaining and is currently placed 10th.

Spaniard Bruzon had coaching experience in I-League with Goan club Sporting Clube de Goa over two seasons. He was an assistant manager in Spanish second division with RCD Mallorca prior to the move.

Bruzon, a UEFA A level pro license holder, is already in the city and took the players through the paces on Thursday. “I want the players to believe we can do it. I don’t want to go further than the next match,” he said.

The team hosts Churchill Brothers on April 8 at the Cooperage ground.
