But, even a change in the coaching staff couldn't arrest the Highlanders downward slide this season.
Commenting on his team's performance, Schatorrie talked about the need to have quality players in the side.
"We have played all the teams and I can say we haven't been completely outplayed by any of them. The difference has been in the quality of individuals players every team has. We have had our chances but we failed to take them," he added.
Delhi, after their fine start beating FC Pune City in their opening game, only saw their campaign nosedive with every outing.
Delhi too had their fair share of highs when they defeated table toppers Bengaluru FC and held Chennaiyin FC 1-1 in their last game but coach Miguel Angel Portugal knows it is too little too late.
"Our motivation now is to avoid the last position in the league. NorthEast United are also in a similar position. We would want a win in this one," he said at the pre-match press conference.
The Spanish tactician also revealed that he'll be missing some of his key players for the game.
"Yes, Nanda (Kumar), Edu Moya, Albino (Gomes), Romeo (Fernandes), (Jeroen) Lumu didn't have time to recover from the last game. That's doesn't matter. We'll try to play our best and win the game," the Delhi coach added.
