Lal to coach Ba

FORMER national football rep Shalen Lal has been appointed as the new Ba coach.

Ba has been without an accredited coach since Yogendra Dutt was relieved off his duties last July.

The former Ba rep is no stranger to coaching.

He coached the Ba youth team last season and is the Fiji under-20 assistant coach.

Lal is pursuing a B-Licence which is the highest coaching qualification offered by the Oceania Football Confederation.

He was part of the intensive 16 days of practical and theory B-Licence sessions which were held in Suva last month.

Ba Football Association secretary Iliyaz Khan said it was always good to have one of their own coaching the team.

Khan said Lal commanded a lot of respect from the players.

“Shalen is an upcoming coach and will surely guide Ba with a lot of passion,” he said.

“There has been good response at training. Fitness is the key area that players will need to focus on coming out of the festive period.”

Under Shalen, Ba won the National Football Youth League Western zone playoffs.

The side lost to Rewa 2-1 in the final at Govind Park.
