Former Nadroga football coach Ramesh Sharma has been given the chance to mentor the Stallions in the premier division.
Sharma takes over the reign from Johnny Williams who helped the Stallions qualify to the premier division this year.
Speaking to Fiji FA media Sharma said he always had Nadroga at heart.
“I have Nadroga in my blood and I can never say no whenever I have been called for my service, “said Singh
“Football is my love and passion and I am happy that once again I have been the opportunity to guide the team in the Premier Division.”
Sharma said he had set a goal for the district.
“I hsve set up a goal to create some upsets in the Vodafone Premier League and yes I am sending a warning to all district to not underestimate Nadroga team,”
“We have very young team who have done wonders last season and I will further groom them and I am sure we will create major upsets in top level this year,”
The Nadroga school teacher said he was not aware of players from other district joining the team.
“At the moment I have no idea who all are joining the team but I will say we have so many talented players in Nadroga and they can do the job,”
Association President Mohammed Ali says Sharma is no stranger to Nadroga football as he had previously coached the team in the premier division as well as the age group teams.
Ali says Sharma possesses the caliber that’s needed to drive the Stallions to greater heights.
“Right now in Sigatoka we did not have anyone that has the caliber we see in Mr Sharma. So we just appointed him as the interim coach.”
Sharma will be assisted by former Nadroga and national striker Radike Nawalu.
