Raj Dayal, the head coach of the Nadi football team, has returned to Fiji to kick off the Jetsetters’ preseason preparations ahead of the National League, which is slated to begin on February 14. With a month to go before the league starts, Dayal will concentrate on perfecting the team’s tactical combinations and enhancing their physical fitness, aiming to achieve a significantly better performance than last season.

Dayal, who took over as coach last year, made an impressive impact by steering Nadi to the finals of the Battle of the Giants and leading the team to the semifinals in the Inter District Championship. This year, the expectations are high as Nadi seeks to build on that success.

His commitment to improving the team is evident, especially after their fluctuating performance in previous competitions, including a rough patch where they lost all matches during the Digicel Fiji FACT. However, a recent resurgence saw the Jetsetters registering victories in their last two matches in the Digicel Fiji Premier League, suggesting a potential turnaround.

This coming season, Dayal plans to collaborate closely with new assistant coach Mohammed Ashif Khan to optimize team dynamics and ensure Nadi is competitive. The coming weeks will prove crucial for refining strategies and boosting on-field performance, and fans of Nadi have good reason to feel optimistic about what this season may hold.

In summary, Raj Dayal’s return is not just a leadership change but symbolizes hope for a more successful campaign for the Jetsetters, with a focus on strategic development and teamwork.
