FC Goa parts ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh
Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will take interim charge of the club while the search for a new head coach continues.
FC Goa and head coach Gouramangi Singh have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect, the club announced on Friday, according to Sportstar and Rediff. Singh, a former captain of the Indian national team, had been appointed head coach this summer after serving as an assistant coach since 2022.
The club stated that Singh brought a professional approach and a strong work ethic to his time at the club. In a statement, FC Goa thanked him for his efforts and dedication and wished him the best for the future.
FC Goa CEO Ravi Puskur said that Singh had been a valued part of the club for a long time. Puskur added that while things did not work out as both parties had hoped, the club was grateful for his commitment.
The departure comes as the club sits seventh on the Indian Super League (ISL) table with five points after four matches. The club's recent outing before the international break was a 2-1 home loss to Bengaluru FC.
Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will take charge of the team on an interim basis. The club will manage the team this way while the process of appointing a new head coach is completed.
