Mathare United win promotion to FKF Premier League after beating Darajani Gogo
Mathare United have secured promotion back to FKF Premier League after a decisive victory over Darajani Gogo ending their one-season absence.
Minnaert emphasized his commitment to enhancing local coaching standards.
"As part of my objective is to train Liberian coaches. Of course, if I bring assistant coaches it will be difficult to develop coaches.
The only foreign coach I will bring is a physical coach. He will help us to prepare and train the Liberian physical coaches. It's not only to win the championship but to develop in the long term," he added.
Minnaert's coaching career in Africa began in 2002 and includes multiple stints at various clubs.
After his time with AFC Leopards, he moved on to manage the Guinean powerhouse AS Kaloum and Rwanda’s Rayon Sports among others.
His tenure at these clubs was marked by near successes, including a tight race for the league title with AS Kaloum, which ultimately saw Horoya AC clinch the championship early due to a superior points difference.
