A Mutual Decision After Disappointing Results

Hyderabad FC and Singto mutually decided to part ways following an underwhelming season that saw the team slump to its eighth loss in 11 league games, including a defeat to Chennaiyin FC last week. The club released an official statement thanking Singto for his dedication and contributions and wishing him the best for his future.

“Hyderabad FC thanks Mr. Singto for his professionalism and the vital role he played in the club’s development over the years. We wish him the very best for his future endeavors,” the statement read.

Thangboi Singto’s Tenure at Hyderabad FC

Thangboi Singto, a seasoned coach from Manipur, joined Hyderabad FC in 2020 as the assistant coach and technical director of youth development. His role expanded over the years, and in July 2023, he was promoted to head coach, tasked with leading the team through a competitive ISL season.

Despite his efforts, Singto’s tenure was marked by inconsistent performances. However, his legacy includes significant achievements, such as guiding Hyderabad FC to become the first ISL team to win a match with an all Indian lineup last season. His vast experience includes stints at Shillong Lajong (I-League), Kerala Blasters, and Odisha FC, making him one of the most respected names in Indian football coaching.

Shameel Chembakath Steps In as Interim Coach

Assistant coach Shameel Chembakath has stepped into the interim head coach role. Chembakath, who has been with Hyderabad FC for several years, is no stranger to the club’s culture and dynamics. His immediate task will be to turn the tide for the team and reignite their ISL campaign.

The club will face NorthEast United FC in their next home match, a crucial opportunity to bounce back and rebuild momentum.

Hyderabad FC has seen a variety of coaching changes since its inception. Here’s a quick look at the club’s managerial history:
