An Ex-International Gaining Ground in Liberia

After not so much loud achievement in Nigerian football, a former Super Eagles invitee is making the country proud in not far away Liberia.

Jasper Benfelix moved to Central Monrovia to create a template from the dugout in what many will take as suicidal decision from overwhelming soccer society to underwhelming round leather scratch with the production of Leone and Lone star by name George Weah.

After managing to secure the key to Coaching in CAF 'License C and B' in successive years, Jasper Benfelix suit to the track and was later given a try after an adventurous fruitfulness with an Academy.

The 'traditional' Mighty Barrolle SA appointed the young gaffer as subordinate in 2013 and was later upgraded and confirmed as Head Coach in 2014.

Fortunes smile on the employee and the employers when a miraculous Premier League promotion led the tutor winning the Best Division 2 Coach of the Year Award for the 2015/2016 calendar.

Jasper BenFelix, whose high and low for Super Eagles came enroute Korea/Japan via friendly encounter with Paraguay in 2002 under Chief Coach Adegboye Onigbinde, endured a bad spell before a tap from the Liberian Football Association led by ace administrator Musa Bility.

The Federation target is restructuring and footballing standard upgrading with BenFelix called to serve as one of the eagle eyes or Chief scout for the masculine and feminine versions of the cadet National teams.

A day to day engagement followed suit with a second division managerial seal with Keitres FC before capping it all with the completion of CAF License 'A' programme.

Jasper Benfelix played under Coaches like Fatai Amoo and Ben Duamlong and also Don the colours of NPA.
