The 2014 season is New Radiant Sports Club's 35th year in existence as a football club. New Radiant also participate in the AFC Cup this season, qualifying directly for the group stage by finishing first in the 2013 Dhivehi League.
Background
[edit]New Radiant finished as champions of last year's in the Dhivehi League, FA Cup, President's Cup and Charity Shield with a quadruple and 100% winning record. So they will be participating in the 2014 AFC Cup directly from the group stage.[1] Ángel Pérez García was announced as the new head coach on 25 November 2013[2] and later on 4 March 2014 the agreement was terminated on mutual consent.[3] Assistant coach Ismail Anil acted as the caretaker coach following the departure of coach García until the arrival of coach Simon McMenemy.[4] Simon was at the job from 13 March 2014 to 10 May 2014.[5] Before the local season began, club appointed the assistant coach Ismail Anil as the head coach on 10 June 2014.[6] On 6 August 2014, New Radiant assigned Mika Lönnström as the new head coach for the club and Ismail Anil continued as the assistant manager.[7]
Ismail Wisham[8] was appointed as the club manager and Ibrahim Ibthisham[9] as the club's Director of Administration. Ibthishaam was the club manager during the 2013 season. Ismail Anil was named as the assistant coach of the club on 12 February 2014.[10]
Three foreign players Kingsley Chukwudi Nkurumeh, Mansa Sylla and Yusif Nurudeen were released by the club as their contract duration were over.[11] New Radiant accepted the transfer request for Moosa Yaamin from the rival side Maziya on 30 December 2013.[12]
Mohamed Umair,[13] Ali Fasir,[14] Ahmed Abdulla,[15] Ahmed Niyaz,[16] Imran Mohamed[17] renewed their contract after the end of 2013 season.
Mukhthar Naseer,[18] Ibrahim Fazeel,[19] Shafiu Ahmed,[20] Hamza Mohamed,[21] Shamweel Qasim and Mohamed Rasheed[22] were the local signings by the club for the 2014 football season.
Evans Mensah,[23] Jonathan Quartey,[24] were the foreign signings for the 2014 season. But Evans Mensah was released by the club, along with Ismail Easa on 16 February 2014[25] and Jonathan Quartey was also released by the club after the 2014 AFC Cup group stage.
Blues also signed a Brazilian striker Joelton Jonathan Sampaio[26] but later terminated the contract due to a serious injury in a life-threatening car accident and was required to undergo several surgeries. So the agreement was terminated on mutual understanding between his agent and the club.[27]
Before the local football season started, New Radiant signed three foreign players,[28] David Carmona, Jamal Dibi and Dane Milovanović but on 10 August 2014, Dibi was released by the club on mutual understandings.[29]
