Bengaluru FC, which recently parted ways with coach Carles Cuadrat , is enduring a disappointing run and has lost four of its last five matches. The side is currently seventh on the table with 13 points from 11 matches and trails fourth-placed Hyderabad by three points.

The former ISL champion has roped in Spanish playmaker Xisco Hernandez in a bid to boost its chances of making the playoffs. Bengaluru FC will next be in action on Wednesday when it faces Kerala Blasters.
