Coach
Jericho Fails First Test
May 4, 2006
Former national team Deputy Coach Frank Jericho Nagbe on Wednesday
failed his first test at his new club Black Star in the ongoing
Liberia Football Association (LFA) premiership title chase.
Coach Jericho, who led NPA Anchors to the runners-up spot in the
debut season at the top flight last season, failed his first test
when his side lost to Watanga FC 3-1 at the Antoinette Tubman
Stadium (ATS).
It was his side that opened the lead after 10 minutes through the
sublimely gifted Melvin Kickmett after being released by teammate
John Barnes.
They could have even scored more goals, but timid finishing eluded
them as the half went to bed.
Watanga FC then rallied brilliantly in the second period, and found
the equalizer through Pea Brown, thanks to erratic goalkeeping from
Sorsor Jomah in the 62 minute.
Nine minutes later, he made another elementary blunder that led to
the second goal, this time from Armah Coleman.
He was then substituted, but that could not prevent the third goal
from the too hot handle Coleman as he bemused substitute goalie Papa
Jana to end the match 3-1.
Coach Jericho replaced Coach Augustine Lloyd after their 4-1
humiliation by Mighty Barrolle 11 days ago in Kakata, Margibi
County.
Black Star has now ended the first phase matches with 12 points on
eight matches.
