Timeline

1953

Armando Colaço (born 22 June 1953) is an Indian football coach, who is currently the head coach of Sporting Goa in the I-League 2.

He is the most successful manager in the history of I-League club Dempo, in terms of trophies in the last 20 years and is also the club's longest-serving manager.

Colaco was born on 22 June 1953 in Panjim to parents – Vincent Salvador Colaço and Clarina Dias Colaço.

Having lost his father at a very young age, but never gave up on his ambitions of playing football, which he did right from a young age during his schooling at Don Boscos where Fr Joseph Casti and Fr Thomas, in particular, encouraged the footballer in the youthful Armando.

According to Armando, it was Sir Edwin, Domnic, Wilson Paes, along with Fr Simon, Fr Edward and Fr Benedict who played an important role in his life as far as his early upbringing was concerned.

Later in his life, his wife Juliana and daughter Genevieve have been his motivation and support.

1970

After gaining the necessary exposure with Don Bosco and Panjim Gymkhana, Armando, who was at the end of his teens, took a career-shaping step in the 1970–71 season when he was chosen to play for Dempo for the first time, under coach Joseph Ratnam, who taught his wards how to play football with discipline.

"That was a very important phase of my career as far as shaping the destiny of my football talent was concerned as I got picked for a big club – Dempo," Armando reminisced.

1985

Though he made Dempo his abode for the next 14 years to come, as a player, the hardworking Armando plied his trade with dedication and commitment before he hung his boots in 1985.

A recipient of the State Kerkar award, Armando, had to look beyond his retirement as a player and it were two men – Alberto Colaço, the present AIFF secretary, and Agnelo Mascarenhas, who encouraged the just-retired Dempo player to move into football coaching.

And thus began a new journey for Armando the coach.

From 1985-88, the Curtorim-based trainer, essayed himself into coaching Salcete Football Club and soon guided the club to a win in Stafford Cup.

1988

Soon, Armando had a one-year offer from Sesa Goa, which he accepted with delight and during the 1988–89 season, the team won the Vitthal Trophy under his guidance.

That actually set the tone for his coaching stints elsewhere as Armando, who was fast gathering moss, rolled on like a stone, and successfully coached the state U-21 Santosh team partnering Peter Vales and also Goa U-23 team at the BC Roy Trophy in the early 90s.

1989

That was after a year-long stint with Dempo S.C. (1989–90) where he won the Pomes Cup and Scissors Cup.

1994

His success was noted as Churchill Brothers S.C. offered him the role of a coach first and then the Technical Director when Danny Maclaren was roped in as a coach during the 1994-2000 period.

Switching his base from Dempo to Churchill in the 90s, Armando had announced his arrival as a seasoned coach with three Goa Football League titles and an NFL runner-up trophy with Churchill Brothers and also a foray into the AFC Cup.

2000

In 2000, came a Clarion call from Mr Shrinivas V Dempo, offering Armando to coach his team, which had hit a trough in the National Football League following a demotion.

Having agreed to accept the challenge, Armando greeted the opportunity to redefine the destiny of a football club, which under his patronage has risen from the dust to virtually touch the skies.

2007

Also he won Dempo three I-League titles in 2007–08 and 2009–10 and 2011–12.

2008

Heavily influenced by Ukrainian manager Valeriy Lobanovskyi, Colaco is the first I-League coach to guide an Indian team into the semi-finals of the AFC Cup, which he did in 2008.

Colaco is widely regarded as one of India's best managers after the success he has enjoyed at Churchill Brothers and Dempo.

He also managed football team of Goa in Santosh Trophy.

Under Colaço, Dempos have managed to inscribe their name on four national league titles, Durand Cup, Federation Cup and he also managed Dempo to have been the first Indian club to reach the semi-finals of the AFC Cup, in 2008.

In the return leg on 28 July 2011 in Ambedkar Stadium, Delhi Colaço managed to get India a 2–2 draw but could not stop India from falling 5–2 on aggregate.

He was removed from his post shortly, and replaced by Savio Medeira in October 2011.

2012

After the 2012–13 season where Dempo finished in 5th place, they parted ways with Armando Colaco with whom they had won 5 League titles.

I have had nothing against Štimac, but I have often wondered whether Indian coaches would get a similar long run.

Results cannot come overnight, particularly when a coach has a new philosophy and new ideas.

You need to give him time.

You need to be patient.

I could have achieved results with the national team but didn't get time.

They gave me three months for a start and then handed me a one-year contract, which I refused.

I needed at least three years to implement my ideas and change the way the national team played.

The AIFF were not willing.
