“The decision to join Bengaluru FC was an easy one for me. It is a model club in Indian football, with a clear vision and a steady path forward, and I have only heard very positive things from my fellow Spanish compatriots who have been or are in India about the club, the city, and the supporters.
“I am very excited to join the team because this is the place I want to be. We all know this season is different, but the team is improving every week, and my role now is to help the players continue that progress. I would like to see a proactive, ambitious, and confident team on the pitch, with a clear idea of how we want to attack and press our opponents.
“This is an exciting challenge for us. Now the focus is on working hard every day, and together we will give everything to represent Bengaluru and its supporters in the best possible way.”
