Gambian
international coach, Tapha Manneh, yesterday, 9 August 2017, created history in
the Liberian domestic league after guiding his club to the domestic league
crown in his debut season.
Coach
Manneh’s club LISCR FC needed just a point to be crowned champions of the
Liberian Premier League in the final day of the 2016-17 league season.
LISCR
FC drew with Keitrace 1-all in the final game of the season to win their third
league title under the Gambian coach.
Coach
Manneh is also bracing up to play the FA Cup final on Sunday 13 August.
The
former Gamtel/ Gamcel coach and charges were forced to wait a little longer
before they would lift the league crown when Invincible Eleven held them to a 1
– 1 draw in their previous game.
Coach
Manneh’s quest for the double remains very much alive as the team overturned a
3 – 2 first leg deficit in an astonishing 3 – 0 second leg comeback over
Keitrace FC, to sail through to the FA Cup final, set for Sunday 13 August.
LISCR
ascended the league table as leaders following a 12-point deduction from rivals
FC Fassel after the team was found guilty of featuring ineligible players in
four matches.
Midway
through the league season, after drawing several matches, LISCR FC switched
their attention to the FA Cup.
In
continuation of their unbeaten run in the league, the Shipping Boys won five
and drew four games in the second period of the league that moved them second
on the league table with five points behind former league leaders FC Fassel.
Just
in his first year, Manneh equaled and surpassed the 19 league games unbeaten
run and set his own 21 games unbeaten run.
