Bengaluru FC has appointed Pep Munoz as its new head coach for the remainder of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 season, the club announced on Thursday.
Munoz, a UEFA Pro Licence holder, joins the club on a free transfer and succeeds interim manager Renedy Singh. Renedy, a former India captain, had taken over the side after the exit of Gerard Zaragoza, following Bengaluru’s Super Cup exit in the group stage.
Munoz was formerly an assistant coach for Barcelona’s age-group teams before he moved to Cambodia as manager of its Premier League side Svay Rienga, with which he won top flight title twice and the Cambodian Cup once.
However, his most recent coaching stint was a forgettable spell with Chinese Super League side Shenzhen Peng City FC last year. Having taken over as head coach in July, he coached 10 games, winning just two, and mutually parted ways with the club.
At Bengaluru, he will look to redeem himself as well as the club, which last won the ISL title in 2019.
In the ongoing season, the Blues have won three of their six matches so far, losing just once, and face Super Cup champion FC Goa next, after the international break, on April 4.
