Indian Super League franchise Delhi Dynamos FC today announced that they have parted ways with their head coach Miguel Angel Portugal by mutual consent.
Despite a slow start to the ISL – Season 4, Portugal rallied back his troops after the turn of the year as the Lions went unbeaten in eight out of the 11 matches played in 2018. His side was well praised for their style of football and were arguably one of the more attractive side’s in the league this season. Under the Spaniard, the Delhi Dynamos were the fourth highest scorers in the tournament.
But both the club and Portugal agreed that the results overall were not upto the mark this season. The club finished eighth in the league standings and were beaten in the qualifying rounds of the inaugural Super Cup and it was in the best interest of the two parties to go their separate ways.
“I had a very memorable time here in Delhi Dynamos and in the ISL. The Club showed great belief in my abilities this season and even though we didn’t win the trophy, the fans were happy with the way we played football and that makes me happy. I am thankful to all the supporters who showed such love for me and the whole staff the entire season,” Coach Portugal said in his parting statement.
The Delhi Dynamos meanwhile would like to assure its supporters that they have started their search for a new head coach ahead of ISL – Season 5.
