Abstract: Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a soluble group of coprime automorphisms $A$. We prove that if, for some positive integer $m$, every element of the centralizer $C_G(A)$ has a left Engel sink of cardinality at most $m$ (or a right Engel sink of cardinality at most $m$), then $G$ has a subgroup of $(|A|,m)$-bounded index which has Fitting height at most $2alpha(A)+2$, where $alpha(A)$ is the composition length of $A$. We also prove that if, for some positive integer $r$, every element of the centralizer $C_G(A)$ has a left Engel sink of rank at most $r$ (or a right Engel sink of rank at most $r$), then $G$ has a subgroup of $(|A|,r)$-bounded index which has Fitting height at most $4^{alpha(A)}+4alpha(A)+3$. Here, a left Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set $mathscrE(g)$ such that for every $xinG$ all sufficiently long commutators $[\mathrm{...}[[x,g],g],dots,g]$ belong to $mathscrE(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is a left Engel element precisely when we can choose $mathscrE(g)=1$.) A right Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set $mathscrR(g)$ such that for every $xinG$ all sufficiently long commutators $[\mathrm{...}[[g,x],x],dots,x]$ belong to $mathscrR(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is a right Engel element precisely when we can choose $mathscrR(g)=1$.)
