Indian Super League club Odisha FC has announced the return of the Spanish center-back Carlos Delgado after two years, reuniting with Josep Gombau.<\/p>\n
Delgado amassed 1389 minutes of serious game time over 16 matches in his debut season with the Juggernauts in 2019-2020.<\/p>\n
With a goal to his name, Carlos had 635 passes combined with 837 touches and a whopping passing accuracy of 86.45 per cent which averages to 39.69 passes per game.<\/p>\n
A product of the Malaga CF youth academy, Delgado made his professional debut for the club’s B side more than a decade ago. After representing the reserve sides of Real Valladolid, UD Almeria, and a stint with Dutch club Sparta Rotterdam, the center-back signed for Valencia B side in 2012.<\/p>\n
Starting with the B team, Delgado eventually made his senior debut for the club in a UEFA Champions League match against Lille. He last played for Castellon in the Spanish third division before joining Odisha FC.<\/p>\n
Odisha FC also recently announced the arrival of their new head coach Josep Gombau. The Spanish gaffer had managed the Juggernauts earlier in the 2019-20 season when they finished sixth.<\/p>\n
Gombau instantly became a fan-favourite for the brand of football he produced. Carlos Delgado was a pivotal part of that Odisha side too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
