Mohun Bagan SG coach Habas aims to close the loop with victory against longtime rival Mumbai City in ISL 2023-24 final

Antonio Lopez Habas, the legendary coach in the Indian Super League (ISL), is on the brink of completing a circle in his illustrious career. After leading Mohun Bagan Super Giant to their maiden League Winners Shield, the Spaniard is now set to face Mumbai City in the final, three years after suffering a heartbreaking defeat to them in the 2020-21 final.

Habas, known for his success in the ISL, is not seeking revenge for that loss but rather focusing on completing the circle. His journey has come full circle since being shown the door by Mohun Bagan in 2021, only to return as head coach and lead the team to glory once again.

With a record-extending third ISL trophy within reach, Habas is determined to prove his worth once more. “I am satisfied with my team’s performance so far, but I have one more point to prove tomorrow. We need to win,” he said.

The coach’s resilience and determination have been key to Mohun Bagan’s success this season, and his players are ready to give their all in the final. “I told the players we know how to win the league and the trophy, and the goal tomorrow will be the same,” Habas added.

As the final showdown approaches, all eyes will be on Habas and his team as they look to complete the circle and cement their legacy in Indian football. The stage is set for a thrilling finale, with Habas leading the charge for another historic victory.
