Bengaluru FC, on Thursday, announced the appointment of Spaniard Pep Munoz as the club’s new head coach. The 42-year-old has signed a contract that will run until the end of the 2026-27 season, and will take charge ahead of the Indian Super League (ISL) fixture against FC Goa on April 4.
This season, BFC was coached by former India international Renedy Singh, who was previous coach Gerard Zaragoza’s deputy and had taken over after the Spaniard left in 2025. The outfit is currently fifth in the ISL table with 11 points, but only three points off the top.
Munoz has previously worked within FC Barcelona’s youth setup, and has also spent time coaching in China and Cambodia.
“The decision to join Bengaluru FC was an easy one for me,” a media release quoted Munoz as saying. “I have only heard very positive things about the club, the city and the supporters from my Spanish compatriots who have been or are in India.”
BFC owner Parth Jindal stated that Munoz was the right man for the job. “From our conversations with him, it was clear that he understands what this club stands for – hard work, humility, and a deep connection with our supporters,” he said.
“I would also like to acknowledge Renedy for everything he has done and we are delighted that he will continue to play an important role within the BFC family,” Jindal added.
