Bahraini coach Salman Ramadhan will continue at the helm of Manama’s senior men’s basketball team for a second successive season.
The decision provides continuity for the capital club after Ramadhan guided them to two runners-up finishes last campaign.
Manama finished second in both the Zain Bahrain Basketball League and the Khalifa bin Salman Cup, while placing considerable trust in homegrown players and members of the club’s youth ranks.
Ramadhan also enjoyed a busy summer at the helm of Bahrain’s under-18 national team, beginning with a successful title defence at the 23rd Arab Youth Men’s Basketball Championship in Sfax, Tunisia, in July.
The following month, he guided the nationals to second place in Group B at the Fiba U18 Asia Cup in Ahmedabad, India, after recording two wins from three games.
That earned Bahrain a place in the quarter-final play-offs, where their run came to an end following a 109-99 defeat to Chinese Taipei, leaving them ninth overall.
Ramadhan will now turn his attention back to Manama, with preparations under way for the new domestic campaign.
The 2026-27 Zain Bahrain Basketball League is scheduled to tip off on October 4, with Manama looking to go one better after last season’s runners-up finish.
They are also set to face champions Muharraq in the Bahrain Basketball Super Cup on October 23.
