FC Goa and head coach Gouramangi Singh have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect, bringing an early end to his tenure at the helm of the Goan club.
The decision, announced by FC Goa on Friday, comes after a disappointing start to the 2026/27 season, with the Gaurs struggling to deliver consistent performances in both the Indian Super League (ISL) and continental competitions.
Gouramangi Singh’s departure comes less than four months after he was appointed FC Goa’s head coach on July 24, 2026, following the departure of Spanish coach Manolo Márquez, who moved to Mumbai City FC.
In his eight competitive matches in charge, four in Asia and four in the ISL, Gouramangi managed only two victories, alongside two draws and four defeats.
After four matches, FC Goa sit seventh in the ISL standings with five points, having recorded one victory, two draws and one defeat.
FC Goa CEO Ravi Puskur acknowledged Gouramangi’s contribution to the club and thanked him for his professionalism and commitment.
“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 also confirmed that assistant coach Shameel Chembakath would oversee the team on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is appointed.
Reports suggest that FC Goa are looking at appointing a foreign head coach, with an announcement expected in the coming days.
