Lastly, Vafa Hakhamaneshi, a skilled midfielder, departs after his contributions to the team’s midfield stability and creativity.
As Chennaiyin FC looks ahead to the upcoming season, they have appointed Owen Coyle as the new Head Coach. Coyle brings a wealth of experience and a successful track record. With his leadership, the team aims to rebuild and forge a new identity on the pitch.
