ISL: FC Goa part ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh after 112 days in charge

ISL side FC Goa have parted ways with head coach Gouramangi Singh after just five matchweeks of the 2026-27 Indian Super League season.

Gouramangi’s long association with the club dates back several years, during which he served as first-team assistant coach from 2022 to 2026.

In July 2026, he was appointed head coach ahead of the AFC Champions League Two playoffs, becoming the first Indian to take full-time charge of FC Goa.

In total, he led the Goan side in eight matches, four each in continental competition and the ISL, recording two wins, two draws and four defeats.

FC Goa’s continental campaign ended in the group stage of the AFC Challenge League, while the side currently sits seventh in the ISL after four matches with five points.

“A former captain of the Indian national team, Gouramangi brought a strong work ethic and a professional approach to his time at the club,” FC Goa said in a statement.

Club CEO Ravi Puskar added: “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.”

Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath will take interim charge of the team while the club finalises the appointment of a new head coach.
