Indian Super League franchise FC Goa after three seasons of the ISL have decided jointly with Brazilian legend Zico to end their three season long association after a dismal ISL-3 in which FC Goa finished bottom of the table.
Under Zico, FC Goa reached the semifinals of ISL-1 and lost the ISL-2 final in dramatic fashion to Chennaiyin FC at home but after problems in the run up to ISL-3 and new owners coming in things did not work out as hoped.
In an official statement, FC Goa said,
FC Goa and its head coach for the past three seasons, Mr. Arthur Antunes Coimbra (Zico) have mutually decided against exercising the option of extending the contract. Keeping the logistical challenges of the upcoming season in mind, the two parties amicably came to this decision.
FC Goa Management has nothing but immense respect and gratitude towards Zico and his dedicated support staff for their role in helping the club establish its foundation. Zico will always retain a special place in the club’s history. FC Goa has always strived to be a club belonging to every Goan, and will continue the legacy of binding Goa through the realms of the beautiful game.
