THE Lautoka soccer side will train without a coach for the next two weeks.

This is after the interim panel of coaches which consisted of former Lautoka players were dismissed from their positions last Wednesday.

On Saturday, the Lautoka Football Association has advertised for the position of a coach to guide the Blues for the remainder of the 2013 season.

The LFA is looking for a coach with an accredited FIFA C License.

LFA president Shalendra Prasad said the Fiji FA would soon be setting a minimum qualification requirement for all district coaches.

He said this was discussed during the last council meeting.

"In the meantime the LFA executives will look after the team," Prasad said.

"We are in negotiations with Design Engineering Fiji Limited and Shop n Save Supermarket for sponsorship."

"The players will resume training from Monday."
