Brdaric served at the helm of the first team for 28 games in all: winning 10, drawing eight and losing ten. Over this period, the team scored 53 goals and conceded 52.

The former German international began his tenure at ChennaiyinFC during the Durand Cup where the team managed to reach the quarter-finals. He was also in charge during the course of the Hero ISL 2022-23 campaign where the Marina Machans finished the league stage in eighth position with 27 points. Chennaiyin FC recorded seven wins and suffered as many defeats while drawing six games during the season.

Brdaric’s men last took part in the Hero Super Cup as they failed to qualify for the knockout stages, finishing third in their group comprising of Mumbai City FC, NorthEast United FC and Churchill Brothers FC. 

"Chennaiyin FC thanks coach Thomas for his contributions and passion for the craft and wishes him the best for all his future endeavours. The club will make a decision on the head coach for the 2023-24 season shortly," the club said in a statement.
