Avramovic, who helped Singapore win the AFF Cup in 2004, 2007 and 2012, had only returned to working in Southeast Asia last July when he was confirmed as the head coach of the Protectors.
However, the 69-year-old has called it quits with the team sitting fifth in the nine-team SPL having collected 27 points from 20 matches.
In eight matches since Avramovic took charge, the Singapore Premier League recorded four wins, one draw and three defeats. His last match in charge of the side was a 3-1 win over Warriors FC at the Jurong East Stadium on Saturday.
“Radojko Avramovic will be stepping down as head coach of Home United FC with immediate effect due to health reasons. He will be returning to Serbia to seek medical treatment,” the club said in a statement.
“We are shocked by this unexpected news and everyone at the club wishes him a speedy recovery. We are honoured that someone of his stature has led the club, despite the short tenure. He has definitely made a positive impact on everyone at HUFC during his time with us,” Home United general manager Badri Ghent said.
Former Singapore international defender Noh Rahman will be the interim head coach while the 2018 AFC Cup ASEAN Zonal winners search for a long-term replacement.
