The coach is expected to begin work immediately, overseeing pre-season activities, assessing the current squad and identifying areas that require reinforcement before the new season gets underway. The club is also anticipated to strengthen its playing staff during the transfer window to provide the technical team with a competitive squad capable of achieving its objectives.
Supporters will be optimistic that Johnson Smith’s return can inspire another successful chapter in the club’s history. His familiarity with the environment and previous experience with Nations FC are expected to ease his transition and help the team settle quickly into preparations.
