Hail to Nandinho: Bahrain Champion by Mid-Season

Football coach Nandinho, an extraordinary figure in the world of sports, bagged the Bahrain championship title four games early this season. Representing Al Muharraq, he clinched an astounding 10th consecutive victory over Manama Club (1-6), outdoing the title's last victors from the 2017/18 season.

"I'm stunned by this massive achievement! It wasn't a walk in the park to forsake a lucrative job for a challenge in Bahrain, yet here we are, knocking down obstacles and reaching the pinnacle — the championship title," a jubilant Nandinho expressed post-victory on Wednesday.

Though they missed the King's Cup, Al Muharraq's triumph marked their major objective - an unparalleled victory in the league and Bahraini history. Our champion coach asserted, "I'm swelled with pride for my team's unyielding effort and the opportunity to wave my country's flag worldwide. Our ongoing aim is to etch our names in the league's and the country's annals by establishing a record for the maximum points ever scored in a Bahraini team."

Nandinho has notched his second title in the Middle East. Last season, he steered Al Ahli to the King's Cup, echoing their victory 21 years ago.
