Former national midfielder Ronil Kumar has returned to the Ba football team as their new head coach for the upcoming season. Kumar succeeds interim coach Timoci Seru, who was unable to secure any titles during his tenure last year with the Men in Black.

Kumar’s coaching experience with Ba is notable; he previously led the team to victory in the 2022 Pacific Community Cup held in Nadi. In a successful follow-up, he guided Lautoka to win the Fiji FACT in 2023, breaking a 21-year title drought by defeating Rewa 2-1 in a thrilling final. His proven track record in high-stakes situations is expected to invigorate the Ba team as they look to reclaim their strength in the league.

The Ba Football Association is likely counting on Kumar’s leadership to restore the team’s competitive edge, especially following recent concerns regarding their performance and consistency. Previously, the team had garnered a significant reputation in local football, and with Kumar at the helm, there is hope that they can return to prominence.

As Ba prepares for the coming season, supporters are eager to see how Kumar will integrate new strategies and players into the lineup to achieve favorable outcomes. His experience, particularly in navigating the pressures of championship play, positions him well to lead Ba back to winning ways. The robust management and coaching decisions reflect a commitment to enhancing the overall performance and success of the Ba football team moving forward.

With optimism in the air, fans can anticipate a renewed spirit for the team as they aim to rise above the challenges they’ve faced in recent years and return as a formidable force in the league.
