Breaking: Josep Gombau leaves Odisha FC
The Spanish tactician took the debutants to the sixth spot in the league.
Odisha FC and Coach Josep Gombau have amicably parted ways due to the coach's familial obligations. The revelation is rather shocking as Josep had become a fan favourite in Odisha due to his style of play.
Club President Mr. Rohan Sharma said, "Some things in life are more important than football. I'd like to thank Coach Gombau and his coaching staff from the bottom of my heart for all that they have done for the club."

"The whole coaching staff was such a positive influence for the club. No matter where they all go in life they will always have a home in Odisha."
Coach Josep Gombau has expressed, "It wasn't an easy decision to make. I have enjoyed my time at Odisha and I am proud of what I built there. It is with some regret that I can't finish what I started, but I will always be rooting for the success of Odisha FC."
Josep Gombau had joined Odisha FC (earlier Delhi Dynamos) ahead of the fifth season in 2018. He continued for the second consecutive season in 2019-20 and took OFC close to the playoffs spot.
In their debut season, Odisha FC scored an impressive 28 goals altogether but were disappointing in defence as they conceded 31.
