Mohammedan head coach makes U Turn, likely to extend stay with Black Panthers

Mohammedan SC head coach Andrey Chernyshov took to social media to step down from his post the other day

The trouble and confusion at Mohammedan SC continue. Yesterday, their head coach Andrey Chernyshov took to social media to announce his resignation from the club. The reason? The Russian head coach accused the club of delaying payments for 3 months and not honoring the coach’s contract.

However, as per the latest reports, the club management had a late-night conversation with the coach and has met the demands of the head coach. Reports further claim that Andrey Chernyshov will be continuing as the head coach within a fortnight. For their next match, assistant coach Mehrajuddin Wadoo will be in charge of the team when they take on Mohun Bagan in the Mini Kolkata Derby.

What prompted the U-Turn for Andrey Chernyshov?

Andrey Chernyshov blamed the club management for not fulfilling his contractual demands. He further added that as a professional coach, he can’t continue his job without getting his salary for three months. But as per reports, a senior official of Bunkerhill Dipak Kumar Singh had a long conversation with the coach and convinced him to stay.

“The meeting with the coach has been fruitful. The investors have promised to look into the players’ and coaches’ salary issue with utmost urgency. The coach is likely to leave for home and won’t be available for the team’s next two matches. However, he is expected to be back here after a fortnight and will take charge of the team thereafter,” a source told The Times of India.

If things go as per plans then Andrey Chernyshov will be back in the dugout on February 16, against East Bengal. He is said to miss the two upcoming games against Mohun Bagan and Hyderabad FC. Reports further add that Bunkerhill and Shrachi Sports have stopped funding the club after failing to get their required shares. Mohammedan has called a Press Conference today in the afternoon and more details are likely to emerge from the same.
