Sreenidhi Deccan FC appoints Fernando Varela as head coach

I-League debutants Sreenidhi Deccan FC has announced the appointment of their new Head Coach Fernando Santiago Varela from Churchill Brothers for the 2021-22 I-League season. An experienced coach who previously managed both clubs Gokulam Kerala and Churchill Brothers, his vast experience in Indian Football would prove beneficial.

Sreenidhi Deccan FC, a club based in Hyderabad, Telangana, was founded on Jan 1st 2015. It was shaped into a professional Football Club in May 2018. SFC is considered to be the leading football academy in Hyderabad, having world-class facilities. SFC played in All India Football Leagues for age groups of U13, U15 & U18. They were granted playing rights to join the 2021-22 I-League season. 

In his previous season, Varela’s Churchill Brothers were considered favorites to become I-League Champions on field as shown in first round but could not maintain the momentum in crucial stages which ultimately led to Gokulam Kerala being I-League Champions via goal difference.
