MONROVIA – In an effort to quell a rising firestorm within the Liberian football community, Nathaniel S. Sherman, the Deputy Technical Director of the Liberia Football Association (LFA), has issued a public apology to the Liberia Football Coaches Association (LFCA). “I recognize that my words were inappropriate and failed to reflect the respect and appreciation the Coaches Association and coaches across Liberia deserve,” Sherman stated. Stakeholders Call for LFA ClarityWhile Sherman’s apology has served as a temporary de-escalation, the episode has reignited a debate over the LFA’s hiring criteria. Football analysts are now calling on the local football governing body to provide clear, transparent qualifications for senior technical appointments to avoid future friction. As of press time, the Liberia Football Association has remained silent on the matter, failing to issue an official statement regarding the qualifications for the Deputy Technical Director post or the fallout from the social media spat.
