LFA
Receives Kromah's Resignation
By Julu M. Johnson, Jr.
At long last, Kadallah Kromah has
officially informed the Liberia Football Association (LFA) of his
resignation as head of the national soccer team Lone Star.
The Secretary-General of the LFA Yanqueh S.
Borsay has been quoted as saying that Kromah turned in his letter of
resignation last Wednesday.
Notwithstanding, Borsay disclosed that the LFA
Executive Committee would meet to discuss Kromah's resignation.
Frank Jerico Nagbe has also entered the
scene.
Kromah was compelled to call it quit after the Lone
Star of Liberia went down 3-0 to the Lions of Teranga of Senegal on
October 10, 2004 at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in
Paynesville. After all, Senegal had the wherewithal to defeat
Liberia in her own background.
Immediately following Senegal's first goal, Liberian soccer fans
resulted to violence. The angry fans subsequently ransacked the home
of Kromah in Sinkor.
The vandalism stretched to the "No Credit" Spot
of LFA President Sombo Izetta's Wesley. In the process, Counsellor
Wesley "LFA-2" mercedes was set ablaze while her entertainment
center was looted.
The incidence prompted Kromah to seek refuge at
the ELWA compound of former LFA President Edwin Snowe. From there,
he reportedly announced his resignation while fearing for his
safety.
Kromah's resignation leaves a vacancy at the helm of the Lone Star,
the team which lies second from bottom in Group One of the 2006
Nations Cup and World qualifying stage with four points from five
matches.
Ever since Kromah announced his
resignation, the Sports Ministry has yet to address itself on the
matter. Sports Minister Wheatonia Dixon-Barnes was with the argument
that Kromah that she had not received any communication to that
effect.
But with the latest development, the Sports
Ministry is being looked upon to fill the vacancy at the national
team ahead of its next match in March, 2004.
There are reports of lobbying among
the country's well known tacticians. Prominent among those linked to
the job are Mighty Barrolle coach David and Mabu Richards, who is
the choice of the now former national coach Kadallah Kromah. NPA
Anchors coach Frank Jerico Nagbe has also entered the scene. |
