PANAJI: FC Goa and head coach Gouramangi Singh have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect, the club announced on Friday.
Singh’s departure brings an end to an association with the Gaurs that spans several years. He had been part of the club’s first-team setup for a considerable period before being appointed head coach, becoming the first Indian to take charge of FC Goa on a full-time basis.
A former captain of the Indian national team, Singh brought considerable experience, commitment and a professional approach to the role. However, his stint as head coach has now come to an end, with both parties agreeing to move on.
Commenting on the development, FC Goa CEO Ravi Puskur acknowledged Singh’s contribution to the club and thanked him for his service. “Gouramangi has been a valued part of FC Goa for a long time. He brought real commitment and professionalism to his work here, and we’re grateful for everything he has given the club. While things did not work out as we had both hoped, we wish him every success in the next stage of his career,” Puskur said.
The club confirmed that assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will take charge of the team on an interim basis. He will oversee the side while the process of appointing a new head coach is completed.
