Lautoka Soccer Association has short-listed five names for the coach's position.

Fijivillage Sports has established that Australia based Mike Thomann, Anand Sami, Tagi Vonolagi and Lautoka soccer's former coaches, Dennis Singh and Nicholas Rounds have been short-listed.

However, the Lautoka soccer team will go in the Inkk Mobile Battle of the Giants soccer tournament without a coach and senior players like Shalesh Sami, Keni Doidoi, Alvin Avinesh and Jone Vono Jnr are expected to lead the charge for the Blues.

President, Shalendra Prasad said they will appoint a coach after the tournament who will then prepare the team for the O-league competition and the IDC.

The Blues camp had suspended Imdad Ali as coach of Lautoka after the teams dismal performance at the Vodafone Fiji Fact.

Meanwhile, Lautoka takes on Nasinu at 12 noon this Sunday at TFL National stadium in its first match of the BOG.
