Africa-Press – South-Sudan. Juba Local Football Association (JLFA) first division giants Kator Football Club have signed ex-Bright Stars head coach Ramzi Sebit, a week after parting ways with Rezik Hakim.
The Lubras’ management released Hakim despite the team sitting atop the Juba Local Football Association First Division League. No reasons were attached to his departure.
The 50-year-old former Bright U-20 head coach was acquired for an undisclosed fee from AL-Rabita FC, Juba. Sebit was signed alongside Mubarak Abdlrazig as the team’s assistant coach.
They both agreed to a six-month contract with Lubras, with the understanding that an extension was possible, but only with effort.
“We have lost the successes of those days, and despite being one of the clubs in the history of Juba Local’s league, we have never been the same,” the clubs’ chairman, Christopher Ladu, remarked during the signing ceremony in Juba.
The chairman added, “We are unable to win the league cup for long; we always lose in finals, and we need to go back to our glory days of winning; that is what we are trying to address.”
“So, you are here to get Kator where it belongs, and we will work with you,” he said.
Sebit committed to putting a lot of effort into helping the team reach its objectives.
“Being part of such a wonderful club would always be the goal of any coach; I am glad to be in this family,” he said after signing his six-month contract.
“Kony-Konyo League is not new to me; I have been there since, and I know Kator better. “The team is outstanding in the league’s history; the only thing we need to do is work and fix the team in its place,” he added.
He is one of the most decorated coaches in the history of the South Sudan league, especially in the Juba Local Football Association (JLFA).
His extensive league experience and track record would be fantastic for teams like Kator, who have been unable to win the league cup for more than five years.
