Gaonkar sacked, Clifford brought in as Goan coach Kolkata, Feb 7 (PTI) Having lost the lead to Mohun Bagan yesterday, Sporting Clube de Goa today roped in former coach Clifford Chukuwama and asked current coach Vishwas Gaonkar to step down with immediate effect.Taking a leaf out of East Bengal's book, who recalled former coach Subhas Bhowmick in place of Stanely Rozario after their failure to retain the Federation Cup, the Goans did not waste time in bringing in Clifford, who had been relieved of his duties as the head coach at the start of the season.
Club owner Peter Vaz told PTI that Gaonkar might have taken the club to top of the table at the end of the first phase but it was the worst performance overall this season.
Vaz pointed out that the club lost to Salgocar, for the first time in four years in the Governor's Cup, where it was champion three times and finished fifth in the Goa League. PTI
