List of all Bengaluru FC coaches & their performance: ISL

The Blues won their only ISL title under Carles Cuadrat during the 2018-2019 season.

Indian Super League (ISL) club Bengaluru FC are one of the best teams to compete in the competition. Having won their last ISL title during the 2018-2019 season, the Blues have seen many managers come and go to replicate that success. Under Spanish head coach Gerard Zaragoza, who took over during the middle of the 2023-2024 season, the club have found a promising young manager.

The Spaniard was part of the backroom staff of former Bengaluru FC head coach Carles Cuadrat, who won their only ISL title. Having a manager who knows the foundations of the club very well is important for fostering success in the ISL.

However, the road wasn’t easy for the Blues, who went through different managers before landing with Zaragoza.

Here’s a list of the managers who have taken the Blues hot seat since their debut season in the 2017-2018 ISL campaign.
