| Coach: | Kalambay Bibey Mutombo, DR Congo Mutombo replaced Milutin Sredojevic of Serbia who was released from his position on January 15 2007 having recorded just 3 wins in 12 matches. Sredojevic was appointed head coach in the 2006/07 pre-season from assistant coaches Momchilo Medic and Tebogo Moloi who had taken over from Kosta Papic of Serbia and Montenegro on May 9 2006 following his resignation. With just five years of African experience the 38 year-old Sredojevic won five league championships (three with SC Villa of Uganda and two with St George FC in the Ethiopian Premier League). Papic, with extensive experience in Nigeria where he coached big name clubs Enyimba, Enugu Rangers and Lobi Stars, failed to win a trophy since taking over in the 2004/05 season from Augusto Palacios. |
