The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) wishes to inform the general public that, acting upon the recommendations of its Technical & Development Committee, it has extended the contracts of five coaches across the various categories of our National Teams.

The Assistant Coach Mr. Alhagie Sarr, Fitness Coach Riedoh Berdien, and Goalkeeper Coach Mr. Alhagie Marong, all of the Senior National Team category, have their contracts extended by five more years to align with the length of the Head Coach Mr. Tom Saintfiet to ensure continuity.

Matarr M’Boge, who guided Gambia to third place at the U-20 African Cup of Nations in Mauritania earlier this year has also been given a five-year extention and promoted to the position of Head Coach of the National U-23/CHAN Team. The GFF has also extended the contract of U-17 Coach Abdoulie Bojang by two more years and will continue to serve in that same capacity.

Mr. Omar K. Sise, who until recently was the Head Coach of the U-23/CHAN Team, was released following the expiration of his contract. The Executive Committee further wishes to thank Mr. Sise for his services to football throughout his four-year association with the GFF.

Finally, with the promotion of Mr. M’Boge, the position for the U-20 Head Coach is now vacant and the Federation will in the not-too-distant future advertise the vacancy for interested candidates to apply as a start to the recruitment process.
