Marc Valiente joined the team at the beginning of the current season. The 35-year-old, though, only made eight games until an injury quickly put an end to his stint. Despite joining FC Goa last summer, Valiente’s playing time was cut short by an injury midway through the 2022–23 campaign.
He was replaced by Santana. He has appeared in seven games for the Gaurs. Hernan Santana, a former fixture of NorthEast United FC and Mumbai City FC, signed as his replacement in January but failed to see action under Carlos Pena.

He has played in 60 games for the Goan team total, and in 2019 and 2020. He helped them win the Hero Super Cup and the Hero ISL League Winners’ Shield, respectively.
