Babs Khan is taking on the helm as head coach of Navua FC, bringing a sense of optimism and confidence to the team. Following their recent 1-0 victory over Suva in the Extra Premier League, Khan expressed satisfaction with how the players are adapting to his unique style of play and emphasized plans for introducing several tactical changes.
Khan succeeds former coach Saiyad Ali, who left a strong legacy of discipline and consistency within the team. The experienced coach is determined to build on this foundation, leveraging his prior coaching experiences with Lautoka and Suva to inspire continuous improvement and drive the team’s performance.
During his post-match remarks, Khan praised Navua’s ball control and their strategic choices, indicating a deliberate departure from the “kick and chase” mentality. He noted that there’s room for enhancement in the team’s striking capabilities as they prepare for upcoming matches, signaling a proactive approach to addressing challenges head on.
Other matches in the Extra Premier League saw Labasa dominate Nasinu with a significant 6-0 win, while Rewa triumphed over Tavua 3-0. Looking ahead, Navua is set to continue their campaign, with league matches scheduled for Nadroga against Lautoka and Ba facing Nadi.
The shift in leadership at Navua FC is seen as a fresh opportunity filled with potential for success. As Khan implements his vision for the team, fans and players alike are hopeful for an invigorated season ahead marked by stronger performances and exciting matches.
