Regarding this, our source stated, "right now the club wants to part ways with him after the Super Cup. Winning the Super Cup could have an impact in reversing their decision but I don't think the decision will be reversed."
Before joining the ISL outfit, Ferrando had managed the likes of Atletico Madrid, Elche, Johor Darul Ta'zim. This season, the 59-year-old led Jamshedpur to the fifth spot in the league table, narrowly missing out on the semi-final spots, which went to Bengaluru FC, Mumbai City, FC Goa, and NorthEast United FC.
