Footscray United is after a new coach with two-time premiership winning coach Shafraz Mohamed departing the club.
The Victorian Turf Cricket Association club announced on social media that the club and Mohamed had mutually decided to part company as we both seek a new direction into the future
“After three seasons as captain-coach of Footscray United Cricket Club, we are today announcing that Shafraz Mohamed has decided to step down from his position,” the post said.
“Shaf has achieved enormous success in the first XI over the last three seasons, making three consecutive grand finals and divisional promotions, along with back-to-back premierships for the first time in the club’s history.
“He has recruited tirelessly and brought a culture of success to the team during his tenure. Shaf has also been heavily involved in event planning and helped make this season’s Brian Lara event a great success.
“ He has significantly assisted to promote the club and get our name out into the community in new and unique ways. Seeing Brian Lara, Darren Ganga, and Fawad Ahmed in the rooms of our small community club was a highlight that few of us will soon forget.”
The club said that Mohamed would also be welcomed back at the club as a club legend.
The club thanked him for all the work that he had done the past three years.
The club has already advertised to fill the role with the club to be in VTCA division 1 password.
They are seeking a coach for all the sides with a preference of someone with a level two qualification, with the club open to a captain-coach or non-playing coach.
“We look forward to building a strong, cohesive and inclusive cricketing culture throughout all grades in the future,” the club said.
“If anyone would like to put some names forward then we encourage you to reach out to anyone on the committee.”
