Our Star of the Week is the mentor of MTC Namibia Premier League champions Tigers Football Club, Brian Isaacs, who recently steered Tigers to its first ever post-independence league trophy last Saturday when they defeated Young Chiefs 1-0 at the Windhoek Independence Stadium.
The last time Tigers won a league title was in 1985 when they won the pre-independence Namibia Super Soccer League (NSSL), some 31 years ago, but Isaacs last weekend rewrote Namibia’s football history books by helping Tigers lift its first league trophy in an Independent Namibia and in the process also became the first local coach to win the league title six times with three different clubs.
His first league title was won in the 2008/09 season, with Orlando Pirates, and thereafter he won back-to-back quadruple league titles with Black Africa (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014) and now for the sixth time this year, with Tigers.
