Raj Dayal, the head coach of Nadi football team, has returned to Fiji after a time spent in Canada, ready to kick off the Jetsetters’ pre-season preparations ahead of the National League starting on February 14. This one-month period is critical as Dayal will be concentrating on refining the team’s fitness levels and improving tactical combinations, with the goal of outperforming last season’s results.
Since taking over the coaching role last year, Dayal made a remarkable impact by leading Nadi to the finals of the Battle of the Giants and the semifinals in the Inter District Championship. The team’s impressive performance has raised high expectations as they look to leverage their past achievements while addressing struggles experienced in the previous competitions, particularly during the Digicel Fiji FACT tournament.
This season, Dayal will be working closely with newly appointed assistant coach Mohammed Ashif Khan. Their collaboration will be vital to optimizing training strategies and fostering team dynamics. Recently, the Jetsetters have shown signs of resurgence, having secured victories in their last two matches in the Digicel Fiji Premier League, which adds to the hope surrounding the team’s performance for the upcoming competitions.
The combination of Dayal’s coaching experience and the anticipation from fans marks an exciting time for the Jetsetters. With focused preparation and a strategic approach, there is strong optimism that Nadi can significantly improve their standing in the National League this season. The upcoming weeks are crucial for the team to establish its game plan, promising a competitive spirit for the challenges ahead.
