Manolo Marquez took charge of his first pre-season training session with Hyderabad FC on Tuesday.

Hyderabad FC head coach Manolo Marquez joined the squad and oversaw his first pre-season training session for the club, at the team's training ground in Guirim, Goa, on Tuesday.

The Spaniard was joined by his fellow overseas coaching staff who stepped on to the field after completing the necessary quarantine procedures.

“Getting back to training felt really good. We spent a long time away from our passion and we spoke about the same with the staff before the start of the training session. I think everyone who loves football would enjoy getting back onto the field,” he said.

Apart from the staff, Manolo was also joined by the foreign players in the Hyderabad squad in Joel Chianese, Joao Victor, Lluis Sastre, Odei Onaindia, Fran Sandaza and Aridane Santana.

“The foreigners will obviously be very important for the team. They trained for the first time but I am really happy with the attitude of all the players, the local players too,” he said.

“I think the players are happy as well, as almost the entire team trained together,” he added.
