Saroj Kumar to coach Suva in Fiji FACT

April 24, 2019 10:34 am

Former Tavua and Fiji age group coach Master Saroj Kumar will coach Suva for the 2019 Vodafone Fiji FACT.

Suva Football President Ritesh Pratap says Kumar is migrating to New Zealand soon and they have requested him to take care of the Capital City side for the Fiji FACT for the time being.

Pratap confirmed to FBC Sports that they are in the process of finding a new coach for Suva following the resignation of Intiaz Khan after their 2-1 loss to Labasa in the Vodafone Premier League earlier this month.
