The Kerala Blasters CEO is said to have had problems with certain members of the management, particularly Karolis Skinkys, the sporting director at the club. However, that is supposedly just one of several issues that prompted D’Silva to quit Kerala Blasters.
Karolis Skinkys joined Kerala Blasters as Sporting Director, from FK Suduva in Lithuania, as recently as March this year. Skinkys brought in more than half a decade of experience at FK Suduva, who he guided to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.
Viren D’Silva returned to Kerala Blasters in 2019
D’Silva initially worked with Kerala Blasters way back in 2014 and 2015, and was crucial to putting together the team that made the finals back in 2016. He made a return to the club in March 2019 when he replaced Varun Tripuraneni as CEO of Kerala Blasters.
D’Silva’s is the latest in a string of personnel changes at the club that saw Kibu Vicuna replace Eelco Schattorie as manager of Kerala Blasters in April, and Sandesh Jhingan leave the club earlier this week. The Kochi-based club finished the 2019-20 season in seventh place, failing to make the playoffs for the third season running.
