During his three years at Kerala Blasters, head coach Ivan Vukomanovic had been an inspirational figure and almost as popular as some of the club’s biggest stars.
But on Friday, KBFC announced that it has parted ways with Vukomanovic under whom the club had qualified for the Indian Super League playoffs for three consecutive years and had finished runner-up in his first year in Kochi.
The club’s contract with the coach was officially supposed to end in 2025.
