The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) is currently in the process of appointing a new coach for the national team ahead of their upcoming international matches in June.

Jasseh stated that the technical and development committee will be meeting with government representatives to begin the shortlisting process for potential candidates. This will be followed by interviews and ultimately the appointment of the new coach. The goal is to have the new coach in place and ready to start work by the end of April, giving them ample time to prepare the team for the upcoming matches.

This level of interest highlights the importance of the national team and the opportunity to make a positive impact on Gambian football.
As the GFF works diligently to finalize the recruitment process, they are confident that they will be able to appoint a qualified and experienced coach to lead the national team. This appointment is crucial as the team prepares for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers in June, and the GFF is committed to ensuring that the new coach has the support and resources needed to succeed in this role.
Overall, the GFF’s dedication to finding the right coach for the national team demonstrates their commitment to developing and improving football in The Gambia. With the support of the government and the football community, the GFF is confident that they will be able to appoint a coach who will help the national team achieve success on the international stage.
