Though Pa-Modou Kah is departing Pacific FC, he won't be leaving it in unfamiliar hands.
James Merriman, newly announced as the next head coach of the Vancouver Island club, has been around the CPL about as long as anybody (since August 2018, to be precise). He's been an assistant coach in each of Pacific's seasons, making him one of the key constants in the three-year buildup that culminated in December's championship.
"I was here since day one of the project, so I feel very much a part of it, just carrying the club forward from where we are and where we need to be," Merriman told CanPL.ca's Kristian Jack this week. "Last year is a season we can build off, so we're looking to take the success of last year and build the club, and continue the direction that we all want to go."
