East End Lions Head Coach Mohamed Lamin Kamara has officially parted ways with the club after a remarkable tenure that saw him guide the “Killers” to one of the most successful periods in their recent history.
Kamara, who was appointed in July 2024, leaves the club after delivering a historic domestic treble, winning the Community Shield (Unity Cup), the Leone Rock Premier League, and the FA Cup.
The achievement places Kamara alongside John Keister as one of only two active Sierra Leonean coaches to have won all three major domestic trophies, highlighting his growing influence and reputation in Sierra Leone football.
In his farewell message to players, officials, and supporters, Kamara expressed his appreciation for East End Lions, describing the club as a family and thanking the fans for their continued support.
“East End Lions is not only a club to me; it is a family. After today, I am no longer the head coach of East End Lions, but I leave knowing the club is in safe hands with another head coach. I will always remain part of East End Lions,” Kamara said.
Reflecting on his achievements, the former coach pointed to the significance of the trophies won during his time at the club, particularly the FA Cup success, which ended a 36-year wait for the title.
“Today, I leave you with the Unity Cup, the Premier League, and the FA Cup, a trophy this club had not won since 1989. I believe the next head coach will achieve even more because there is no club bigger than East End Lions in Sierra Leone,” he added.
Kamara also called on East End Lions supporters to continue supporting the club despite differences, while noting that his next move would be focused on serving Sierra Leone football.
During his spell in charge, Kamara revived East End Lions’ winning mentality, leading the club to its first Leone Rock Premier League title since 2019 and ending a 36-year FA Cup drought.
Although details of his next role have not been officially announced, Kamara’s departure is believed to be linked to an opportunity to contribute to Sierra Leone football in a new capacity.
His exit marks the end of a transformative chapter for East End Lions, with the coach leaving behind a legacy built on trophies, renewed ambition, and a return to domestic dominance.
