FC Fassell have unveiled Spain’s Vicente Parras as head coach on a two-year deal.
Parras officially took over on 22 July following his arrival in Liberia on 19 July.
He has been tasked with winning the 2026/2027 Liberia Football Association (LFA) first division league and improving on the club’s debut participation in the CAF Champions League.
The 50-year-old was unveiled at a ceremony attended by new President Edward Wolloh, Vice President for administration Newton Campbell (alias Frank Lampard), Vice President for international affairs Fatim Soclo and physical trainer Ghassane El Berhami, who served as translator.
Parras, who holds a Uefa Pro License, has been coaching several academies for more than 30 years.
The peak of his career was serving as coach of Elche in 2017 in Spain’s La Liga, having coached the youth team from 2010-2012 and assistant to Elche B from 2012-2015.
But Parras refused to be drawn on his past records or experience.
“My achievement of coaching in Spain and playing against some of the biggest clubs is in the past.
“I want to be judge on my performance working in Liberia with this great club called FC Fassell,” said Parras.
For his part, Wolloh said he was excited to be leading Fassell to a new era with a new coach.
“The objective of FC Fassell remain the same. We want to win the league and make a significant impact in CAF Champions League,” Wolloh added.
Although owner and chief patron Cassell Anthony Kuoh has been illegally and bizarrely expelled from all football activities for life by a heartless LFA grievance and disciplinary committee, Kuoh’s passion for football can’t be questioned and is unmatched.
“Even if it means I will be watching Fassell and football games right in Liberia on television, nobody will kill my love and passion for Liberian football and my desire to see it grows and improves,” Kuoh told our reporter on 19 July.
Although Bea Mountain are regarded as the billionaire’s club with huge investments and big signings, anyone counting Fassell out of the title race is doing so at their own peril.
