By John Mendy

Sulayman Kuyateh, the legendary coach of Brikama United has announced he his quitting his job sending shockwaves around the town’s football community. The coach said the soon ending the 2016/17 GFF League season will be his last.

The news follows months of speculation about Kuyateh’s future with the club after the team’s continental dream was shattered in November 2016 amid “lack of financial muscle” to go to Confederations Cup after a glamorous fund raising campaign was staged which apparently did not raise much.

Sulayman Kuyateh’s departure came as a surprise to many attached to the club following his post on his official Facebook account and with just three matches to the end of the season.
“I want to thank everyone in Brimaka for the support they have given during my stay as the Head coach. But everything is time and the time is up for me to leave. I have finally tendered my resignation, as the Head and I will be leaving after the season. I once again thank God and my family for the support,” he posted.
The 36-year-old has not revealed where his next destination will be, nor is it clear who will likely be his replacement at the club next season.

During his five years stint with the club, Saul has attained Caf Coaching C and B Licenses and four years ago (April 2013), he was privileged to have attended a two-week internship UEFA Coaching program in the Netherlands; a trip facilitated by the former Executive Committee of the Brikama Sports Committee (BYSA).
In his managerial career with the “Satay Ba” club since February 2012, Kuyateh has so far coached the team to a total number of 113 matches in all competition; 95 League, 15 FF Cup and 3 CAF Club competition games.

The outgoing Brikama United coach, has won one FA Cup title in 2016 but is yet to win the league. When he took over Brikama were already champions and he guided them to a respectable Caf Champions league competition eliminating AS Ouakham  of before  respectfully bowing out to Tunsian giants Esperance.
The closest of the club under his guidance was in the 2015-2016 season where the club had a near miss to eventual champions Ports Authority with just a point to finished 2nd.
