Satyanarayanan later confirmed that both parties had 'mutually agreed' to part the outset, Marquez's dual role raised questions. He continued managing FC Goa while taking charge of the national team until the end of last season, and the lack of focused time with the Indian squad was seen as a key factor behind the team's lack of cohesion and attacking with FC Goa, Marquez now returns to familiar ground, hoping to get back on track. He has already joined the squad in pre-season training as the club prepares for the upcoming Durand Cup there is a twist. The Indian Super League itself is on temporary hold, after a Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision ruled in favour of Delhi FC in their appeal for ISL entry based on sporting merit. With the league structure under review, FC Goa and other ISL clubs are awaiting further clarity on the future of India's top-tier now, the focus shifts to the Durand Cup, where Marquez will look to start fresh and leave the struggles of his India tenure behind.- Ends
