Rewa Football Club’s midfielder Tevita Waranivalu has recently taken on the role of interim head coach, following the departure of former coach Rodeck Singh. The transition appears to be smooth, with players expressing quick adaptability to Waranivalu’s leadership style.
Waranivalu acknowledges the weight of his new responsibility but emphasizes that there have been no major disruptions to the team’s dynamics as he leads alongside Assistant Coach Priyant Manu, while team captain Setareki Hughes continues in his leadership role. He feels a sense of no pressure due to the experienced senior players in the squad, who primarily seek guidance and support rather than traditional coaching.
“The response from them has been positive. Players are beginning to open up to me about how they want to play,” Waranivalu shared, indicating a collaborative approach in his new role. He is committed to reassuring fans that the team’s core strength and competitive spirit remain intact, despite the recent changes.
This coaching transition comes at a crucial juncture for Rewa FC, which is gearing up for a series of upcoming matches, including a highly anticipated clash against Labasa. Waranivalu has called on supporters to maintain their faith in the squad, asserting that the team will showcase their resilience and capability throughout the season.
The fixtures for the weekend include:
– Ba vs. Suva at the Fiji FA Academy, Saturday at 3 PM.
– A double-header on Sunday at Prince Charles Park in Nadi, featuring Lautoka against Nasinu at 1 PM, followed by Nadi taking on Tavua at 3 PM.
– Navua will host Nadroga at 3 PM at the Uprising Sports Centre.
Moving forward, this period presents an opportunity for Rewa FC to build on their solid foundation and continue to captivate their fan base. The combined dedication of Waranivalu, his coaching staff, and experienced players could foster a positive atmosphere as they navigate through the season, reinforcing hope for continued success in Fiji’s competitive football landscape.
