Career

Cole has had four spells in charge of the national team.[1]

In January 2011, Minister of Employment, Youth and Sports Paul Kamara removed Cole from the managership, replacing him with Swedish coach Lars-Olof Mattsson.[2] The incident sparked a feud between Kamara's ministry and the SLFA, which preferred Cole.[3]
