Arguably one of the domestic league longest serving coach, having previously handled Kwara United, Niger Tornadoes, Wikki Tourists, Gombe United and Akwa Utd. The Tiv-born coach, who is having his fourth spell with the Food Basket Team, is not new to appearing at the finals. He came close to winning it on home soil in 2008 with the Savannah Scorpions but the heroics of Ocean Boys FC of Brass goalkeeper, Ikechuckwu Ezenwa (now Sunshine Stars shot-stopper) denied him of the winners’ medal, after he stopped Gombe Utd's 7th spot kick after the game had ended in a four goal thriller at the Makurdi Stadium.
Seven years later, Tenger looks set to bow out of dug-out winning the Federations Cup medal come Sunday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos against a side he almost did it with two years ago, but lost to Lobi Stars in the semi-finals.
Zachary Baraje:
Dolphins won the Glo Premier League in 2011 at the expense of Sunshine Stars, Baraje too is a successful coach in the domestic league, though he may not have appeared in much Fed Cup finals.
However, he looks set to making history on Sunday by becoming the first coach to guide Akwa Utd to winning a major silverware and to qualify them for the CAF Confederations Cup.
