Coach Bah suspended amid unprofessional conduct allegations

Coach Bah in Photo has been suspended amid an unprofessional conduct scandal.

Sierra Leone National Women’s soccer team head Coach Abdulai Bah has been ordered by the Football Association to step aside amid allegations of professional misconduct.

Recent pieces of evidence demonstrated that coach Bah engaged with one of her female players in an inappropriate conversation.

It comes after coach Bah has departed Freetown for the Gambia ahead of Sierra Queens Women’s second leg African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The SLFA says coach Bah to step aside from his duty with immediate effect pending an investigation into alleged professional misconduct.

Assistant Hassan Malik Mansaray will be at the dugout when Sierra Queens take the female Scorpions at the Independence Stadium, Bakau, on Monday 25th October 2021.

Under coach Bah, the Sierra Queens suffered a 2-0 defeat in the first leg a week ago at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium in Liberia.

Engor Bundu and Koroma excel in Blackpool recent fine form

Francis Koroma in the photo has been excellent for Blackpool in recent wins.

One of Sierra Leone’s giants, Mighty Blackpool, has had a disappointing season to date, however in the last five games, they have managed to pull off some impressive performances even though the results have not been in their favour.

Notable games against Old Edwardians and Bo Rangers ended in draws even though Mighty Blackpool created several opportunities to score but failed to convert.

In their last two games, the Tiss Tass Boys won against Ports and the Sierra Leone Police outfit, with two unanswered goals, scored each, respectively.

Emerging with raving performances were Engor playing at left-back and goalkeeper Francis Koroma, commonly known as Turtoise, looking sharp and back to his best. Foday Engor Bundu in the attack has added an extra dimension to Blackpool, and teams have not been able to deal with his speed, agility and vision.

Shot sopper Koroma has had fans lamenting his omission from the National Team as many regarding him as the best in the current league.

A much improved Blackpool has climbed to 10th on the pecking order on 17 points from 14 games.
