Struggling Wilberforce FC has secured the service of former Kamboi Eagles and National Under 15 Coach Alim Koroma, Aka System, to help the team to stay in the ongoing Sierra Leone Premier League as they are currently in 18th position.
With Eight matches more to go in the Sierra Leone Premier League, Wilberforce Football Club has a huge mountain to climb having played 26 matches with just 20 points. They face the risk of spending one season at the top flight of the Sierra Leone Premier League as by their current form they could be relegated at the end of the season.
The highly experienced coach will be on the touchline on Saturday as Wilberforce FC take on Real Republicans at the Angola field.
Coach Alimu has resumed training at the SLFA Football Academy training ground with high intensity from the boys and good motivation from the Wilberforce FC management.
