Kolkata April 26 (IANS) City football giants East Bengal on Thursday sacked head coach Khalid Jamil just one year into his tenure keeping Subhash Bhowmick as the club s technical director.
"Miserable performance by Khalid Jamil. We have already sent a letter to him that we cannot continue with him at the present moment " club secretary Kalyan Majumder told reporters at the press conference here.
There was speculation over Jamil being removed after East Bengal s fourth-place finish in the I-League and a Super Cup final loss to Bengaluru FC.
Bhowmick was also unhappy with Jamil s way of working and had publicly expressed his disappointment after the loss to Bengaluru in the Super Cup summit clash.
Jamil was on a two-year contract with the red and golds and it had a clause that allowed both parties to part ways after six months with a two-month notice period.
