Laffor Takes Charge at Wologizi FC As Benfelix Begins One-Month Suspension MONROVIA — Former Lone Star captain Anthony Slonti Laffor has been appointed caretaker head coach of Wologizi FC after head coach Jasper I. Benfelix was suspended for one month. The club announced the decision Tuesday, November 3, 2026, saying Benfelix’s suspension took immediate effect on Nov. 1 following alleged violations of its policies and regulations. According to the club, the suspension will remain in place for one month while an investigation is conducted. “During this period, Trainer Anthony S. Laffor will take charge of the team as Caretaker Head Coach and assume responsibility for all technical and coaching activities until the suspension period is completed,” the club said in a statement. Wologizi also urged its players, technical staff and officials to cooperate fully with Laffor and respect the club’s decisions and established policies. Benfelix's latest suspension follows a sanction by the Liberia Football Association (LFA) in April 2025 over allegations of match-fixing. The allegations followed a WhatsApp post in which he reportedly said he would “do anything” to help his former club, Nimba Kwado FC, avoid relegation, particularly if an opportunity arose while he was coaching Wologizi. Weeks after the controversial message surfaced, Wologizi forfeited a crucial Second Division match against Nimba Kwado. The result helped the Nimba County-based club avoid relegation, while Gompa FC and Cece United were pushed into the relegation zone. Laffor, 41, previously served as a trainer at Wologizi and will now assume full responsibility for the club's technical activities during Benfelix's absence. The former international made 47 appearances for Liberia's national team, scoring five goals. At club level, he enjoyed a successful spell with South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns, making 123 appearances and scoring 20 goals. During his time with Sundowns, Laffor won the Absa Premiership title and the CAF Champions League. His career also included spells with LISCR FC in Liberia, Ashanti Gold in Ghana, and South African sides Jomo Cosmos and SuperSport United.
