Newly appointed head coach of Ba’s football team, Ronil Kumar, is expressing his excitement and determination as he prepares for the upcoming season. At 40 years old, Kumar brings considerable experience to the role, having played for the Men in Black for over 15 years and coached the team on several occasions. He succeeds Timoci Seru, who could not secure any titles during his interim tenure with the team.

Kumar, a proud local, emphasized the honor of leading the team and acknowledged the high expectations and responsibilities accompanying the position. “While I am happy, I know about the challenges that lie ahead as building a winning team is not easy, and we will have to work very hard,” he stated.

Recently, Kumar completed his OFC B-License Coaching Course, which has fueled his optimism about reversing the team’s fortunes, especially after a titleless 2024 season. “I’m looking forward to working with the players to continue bringing out the best in them and push us to new heights in 2025,” he asserted.

In a proactive step towards a successful season, the Ba Football Association has already kicked off training sessions under Kumar’s leadership, signaling a commitment to enhancing team performance and dynamics. This early start represents a renewed hope for fans and expands on previous success the team has enjoyed in local football, which includes triumphs in tournaments like the Pacific Community Cup.

Kumar’s return to the coaching helm can be seen as a strategic move aiming to restore Ba’s competitive edge in the league. Given his extensive experience both as a player and a coach, there is growing optimism among supporters regarding the team’s potential this season.

In summary, with Kumar at the helm, the future looks promising for the Ba football team as they work to reclaim their status as a dominant force in local football while aiming for titles in the seasons to come. Fans can anticipate a renewed spirit and ambition under Kumar’s guidance that may lead to exciting outcomes in 2025.
