The Freetown City Football Club (FCFC) have announced the appointment of Raymond Girald Hunter as their new head coach for 2024-2025 season and a possible contract extension.
This resolution comes on the heels of the recent dismissal of Alusine Balla Kargbo, who was relieved of his duties following his poor showing in the previous year of the Leone Rock Premier League.
Sources say Raymond Hunter is arriving at FCFC with a wealth of experience in football management.
He previously oversaw Anti Drugs FC and also filled the role of interim manager at East End Lions.
During his tenure at East End Lions, which lasted for two consecutive seasons, Hunter took over the managerial role after the departure of Francis Zappa Koroma. He notably guided the team to a commendable third-place finish in the 2022/23 season, thus demonstrating his capability to uplift a club struggling in the league.
Meanwhile, fans and club officials alike are hopeful that he could successfully turn the club’s fortunes around and lead them back to a path of victory and success in the league.
