FC Goa parts ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh
The Indian Super League club announced the mutual departure of the former India captain on Friday.
FC Goa has mutually parted ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh with immediate effect, according to reports from Sportstar, Rediff and The Bridge. Singh, a former captain of the Indian national team, had been appointed to the role in July.
The club's decision comes after Singh led the side in four Indian Super League (ISL) matches this season. Under his leadership, the team recorded one win, two draws and one loss, leaving them in seventh place on the ISL table with five points.
Singh had been with the club since 2022, serving as an assistant coach for four years before becoming the first Indian to hold the full-time head coach position at the club. In total, he led the team in eight matches across domestic and continental competitions.
FC Goa CEO Ravi Puskur stated that Singh was a valued member of the club who provided commitment and professionalism. Puskur added that while the results were not what both parties had hoped for, the club wishes him success in his future career.
Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will manage the team temporarily until a new head coach is selected. Singh is the second head coach to leave a club during the current ISL season, following Manolo Marquez's departure from Mumbai City FC last week.
