Lion City Sailors have parted ways with Head Coach Aleksandar Ranković with immediate effect.
The Club would like to place on record our sincere appreciation to Ranko for leading us in a highly successful chapter of our history, and we wish him every success in his future endeavours.
Under Ranko’s stewardship in over 100 matches, the Sailors lifted five major trophies, including one Community Shield, three consecutive Singapore Cups, and the 2024/25 Singapore Premier League (SPL) title – a season in which he was also named the SPL Coach of the Year.
On the continental stage, Ranko also played a pivotal role in elevating the club’s standing, guiding the Sailors to a historic breakthrough in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Two last season as the first Singaporean club to reach the final of a major Asian club competition.
Assistant Coach Varo Moreno will take interim charge of the Sailors’ first team, starting with this Sunday’s (8 February) SPL fixture against Young Lions.
The search for a new Head Coach has begun, and the Club will make an announcement in due course.
