FC Goa have parted ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh, the Indian Super League club announced on Friday, Sportstar reported.
"The club thanks him for his efforts and dedication that he brought to the role and wishes him the very best for the future," FC Goa said in a statement.
A short spell in charge
Gouramangi, a former India captain with 71 caps, joined Goa as an assistant coach in July 2022 and worked under Carlos Peña and then Manolo Márquez. When Márquez left for Mumbai City FC, the club promoted him, naming him head coach on July 24 for continuity, Khel Now reported.
After four ISL matches Goa are seventh with five points: one win, two draws and a defeat. Their last game before the international break was a 2-1 home loss to Bengaluru FC, and they have yet to win at home in the league this season.
Background
The start in Asia was also poor. Goa lost 3-0 to Turkmenistan's FK Arkadag in the AFC Champions League Two preliminary stage, dropped into the AFC Challenge League, and went out at the group stage in Kuwait last month after finishing third in their group, Khel Now reported.
What next
Khel Now reported that the club is looking to appoint a foreign head coach within days; the club has not announced a successor. Goa's next game is on November 21. Gouramangi is the second head coach to leave this season, after Márquez's departure from Mumbai City FC last week, according to Sportstar.
