Coach Seb, as he is affectionately known, has been with us for eight months and has made significant contributions to the club’s transformation during his tenure.
Unfortunately, due to safety concerns following an assault he experienced and despite all efforts to reassure his family of his security, Coach Seb and his family feel it is no longer safe for him to remain with the club. We want to express our gratitude to Coach Seb for his time with us and wish him the very best in his future endeavours. Coach Seb will always be a part of our history as we build a unique football development program in Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, Coach Sillah, who was, until now, Assistant Coach, will take over the reign of the Club,” Meanwhile, the resignation came against the backdrop of Luawa FC condemnation of an alleged physical attack on Head Coach Sebastian Bowles by Abubakarr Tostao Kamara, the Head Coach of Real Republicans.
