Former Fiji FA development officer Farouk Janeman has been officially appointed as the head coach for the Ba soccer team.

Janeman has replaced Yogen Dutt, who has stepped down because of work commitment.

Janeman who also played for Ba will be assisted by Semi Tabaiwalu and former Ba rep Ravinesh Kumar.

Ba soccer president Rishi Kumar said Janeman will not be only coaching the The Men In Black but will also be in-charge of the development of soccer in Ba.

Ba will this week face Rewa in the National Soccer League competition.
