Coach Of Namibia Resigns. by AbuMikey(m): 1:58pm On Jun 10, 2013
Brave Warriors coach resigns post three days to clash with the Super Eagles.

The Super Eagles will face a coach-less Namibian team on Wednesday in a Group F World Cup qualifier

With just three days to the match against the Super Eagles in a Group F World Cup qualifying match, Brave Warriors of Namibia coach, Roger Palmgren, has resigned his position.

John Muinjo, President of the Namibia Football Association (NFA) announced the departure of the coach on Sunday.

According to a release on the NFA website, Palmgren put in his immediate resignation which stated that he was quitting his position because of serious threats directed towards him and his family.

The Swedish coach was appointed in May and helped his team to a 0-0 draw away to Malawi last week Wednesday.

Going forward, the NFA announced that Ricardo Mannetti will take over the coaching reins and will be assisted by Ronnie Kanalelo. Other than the resignation of their coach, Namibia are still without the injured Rudolf Bester, Henrico Botes, Heinrich Isaacks and Ronald Ketjijere, but  Oliver Risser has resumed training and is in contention for a starting berth.

The Eagles are in Windhoek after their morale-boosting 1-0 win over the Harambee Stars of Kenya last week. The match is scheduled for the Sam Nujoma Stadium on Wednesday.

In the first leg last June, the Super Eagles ran away with a 1-0 victory courtesy of a Ikechukwu Uche goal scored in the 80th minute.
