Nyanti Out, Befford In: Borough FC Announces New Head Coach Appointment

Monrovia, Liberia: Liberian First Division side Borough FC has appointed Deputy Coach Theophilus Befford as Acting Manager of the club following the sudden resignation of Head Coach Reo Nyanti.

Coach Reo Nyanti resigned his post with immediate effect on Thursday amidst growing concerns about the club's poor run this season.

Nyanti was appointed as Head Coach in September 2025, on a three-year deal but managed less than 8 months in charge with the New Kru Town boys.

Under Nyanti's watch, the club was only able to secure four wins from 21 league games so far in the 2025/2025 LFA First Division season.

His resignation follows what Borough FC is now experiencing as one of its worst seasons in the Liberia Football Association (LFA) First Division League.

In a formal communication to the club, Coach Reo Nyanti stated: “It has been an honor to have served in the position of head coach of such a great organization. Unfortunately, I will be unable to continue my role.”

However, Borough FC has acknowledged Nyanti's departure with an appreciation for his services, and moved to appoint Theophilus Befford, to act in the role for the remainder of the season.

The club is currently battling relegation, sitting on 21 points in the bottom zone of the league table.

Befford will now take on a task to save the club from relegation. Borough FC will need to collect significant points from their last five league matches in order to escape relegation.

His first major test will come on April 25th when Borough FC faces off against in-formed LPRC Oilers.

Sports analysts say this match, like every other remaining one, is crucial to deciding Borough FC's fate in the top-tier league.
