Odisha FC started the Hero ISL 2022-23 season brightly winning six out of their first ten matches but their form dipped in the second half of the season as they only managed three wins in the remainder of the league season.
They qualified for the playoffs courtesy of Bengaluru FC’s win over FC Goa but fell at the first hurdle when they suffered a 0-2 loss at ATK Mohun Bagan in the knockout match.
The Juggernauts haven’t made any comment on his potential replacement as the team continues to prepare for the Super Cup.
