Monrovia – Amidst the suspension of the national team coaches’ contracts without settling their eight months arrears, the Liberia football house says their decision was taken in the interest of football and the coaches. Shannon admitted that getting coaches’ salaries at the football house has always been very difficult as this wasn’t the first instance. He recalled former national team coach Roberto Landi when he took the LFA to FIFA for terminating his contract, a case the FA lost and had to fully settle Landi before appointing James Debbah as head coach of Liberia national team. The LFA acting President said once the national team in March approaches the coaches will be called to start job. Coaches affected are James Salinsa Debbah (Head Coach Liberia National Team), Thomas Kojo (Head Coach- Liberia U-23 National Team), Christopher Wreh (Head Coach- Liberia U-20 National Team) and Janjay Jacobs (Deputy Head Coach- Liberia U-23 National Team).
