FC Goa parts ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh
Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will lead the team temporarily as the club searches for a permanent replacement.
Indian Super League club FC Goa and head coach Gouramangi Singh have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect, according to reports by The Bridge, Rediff and Sportstar. The announcement was made on Friday.
Singh, a former captain of the Indian national team, had been with the club since 2022, previously serving as a first-team assistant coach. He was promoted to the head coach position in July 2026, becoming the first Indian to lead the club on a full-time basis.
During his tenure, Singh led the side in eight matches, including four in the AFC Challenge League and four in the ISL. The club currently sits seventh in the ISL standings with five points after four matches.
FC Goa CEO Ravi Puskur stated that Singh was a valued member of the club who demonstrated commitment and professionalism. Puskur added that while the partnership did not meet their shared expectations, the club wishes him success in his future career.
Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will manage the team in an interim capacity while the club completes the process of finding a new head coach.
