Luawa Football Club has pronounced that they have parted ways with their head coach, Sebastian Bowles, who had been in charge of the club since the start of the Lone Rock Premier League 2023/24 season.
According to Luawa FC Management, Sebastian Bowles departs on a mutual consent.
“Luawa Football Club wishes to inform its numerous fans and the football community that Coach Sebastian Bowles has left the club by a mutual consent.” Coach Seb, as he is affectionately called, has been with us for eight months and has made significant aids to the club’s transformation during his term. Regrettably, due to safety and concern, following an assault he had experienced and, despite all efforts to reassure his family of his security, Coach Seb and his family thought it is no longer safe for Seb to remain with the club.
“We want to express our gratitude to Coach Seb for his time with us and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.
“Coach Seb will always be a part of our history as we build a unique football development program in Sierra Leone.”
Temporarily, Coach Sillah, Assistant Coach, will take over the sway of the Club.
It is understood that the latest resignation of the ex-coach came against the backdrop of Luawa FC condemnation of an alleged physical attack on Head Coach Sebastian Bowles by Abubakarr Tostao Kamara, the Head Coach of Real Republicans, just few months ago.
The club had previously called upon the Premier League Board and the football association to thoroughly investigate the incident and take summary or disciplinary action.
The Coach has also been complaining of ‘poor officiating’ by match officials in the ongoing Premier League
