The 2016 season was New Radiant Sports Club's 37th year in existence as a football club.

Background

The Blues appointed their former coach Yordan Stoykov who lead them to the Semi-finals of the 2005 AFC Cup for the new season.[1] He was the coach of Mahibadhoo Sports Club which got relegated in the previous season. On 18 August 2016, he resigned after 4 straight losses in the league, aggregating 0–9 and New Radiant were also eliminated from the AFC Cup group stage without a win.[2]

Despite appointing former coach Nikola Kavazović[3] who lead them to 2015 Dhivehi Premier League glory on 3 September 2016, club was instructed by assistant coach Ashraf Luthfy as Kavazović was on a suspension by Football Association of Maldives since 2015.[4] On 23 September 2016, New Radiant released Kavazović and appointed Ashraf Luthfy as the caretaker manager and Ahmed Niyaz as the new assistant coach until the end of the season.[5]
