Suva Football Association has made a significant shift in leadership, parting ways with seasoned coach Babs Khan after a lackluster performance that culminated in a 1-1 draw against Tavua in the Extra Premier League’s Round 3. In a swift response, the club has appointed former national midfielder Pita Rabo and ex-Tailevu Naitasiri goalkeeper Brian Singh as co-coaches to guide the team moving forward.
Currently positioned in fifth place with 5 points, Rabo and Singh’s immediate challenge will be this Sunday as they prepare to face Nadroga at home. Rabo, who has expressed deep gratitude for this opportunity, stated, “I thank God and everyone who has supported me throughout my soccer career. Now I can enjoy coaching.” His previous coaching experience is expected to be invaluable as they work to boost the team’s performance in the wake of recent setbacks.
In addition to focusing on their debut match, the new coaching team is laying out their vision for the future. They plan to establish a robust playing style, emphasizing that achieving success will require time, patience, and support from both players and fans. Singh has reached out to the local community, requesting their backing to enhance the team’s unity and competitiveness as they embark on this new chapter.
As Suva gears up to face Nadroga, the excitement among fans is palpable, promising a thrilling weekend of league action that includes additional matches involving teams like Tavua, Lautoka, Navua, Labasa, Nadi, and Nasinu.
The transition in coaching ignites renewed hope for Suva FC, with the club’s focus on nurturing local talent and providing experienced leadership heralding a promising path ahead. Fans and players alike are eager to witness the transformational journey of the team this season, aiming for positive results and an invigorated spirit in their upcoming matches.
