“The launch event was headlined by Namibian football legend and coach Ricardo Mannetti, who praised the initiative for celebrating Namibian talent on an international stage while giving ordinary Namibians access to opportunities they may not otherwise experience.”

“Former African Stars FC director of football Ricardo Mannetti calls on 'Starlile' to put up a sterling performance against Orlando Pirates in their CAF champions league encounter.”

“Mannetti, who is spearheading a Standard Bank Namibia campaign, urged the financial institution's clients to find out about the competition if they wish to be part of African Stars FC second-leg encounter in Johannesburg on 24 October.”

“He confirmed that he was informed verbally by the club's sporting director, Ricardo Mannetti, that his services would no longer be required as part of a restructuring process and the club's plans to rebuild.”

“When we won the Cosafa Cup in 2015, I was very nervous, but coach Ricardo Mannetti kept saying, 'it's just another game' over and over again.”

“I am proud to have been in the Namibian team that won the country's first Cosafa Cup under coach Ricardo Mannetti in South Africa in 2015.”

“Former teen sensation Ricardo 'Bucksy' Mannetti, who made his Namibian senior national football team debut at 17, can easily be described as the Rolls Royce of modern-day football.”

“He stresses that as a coach, winning the Cosafa Cup with the Brave Warriors for the first time in 2015 ranks highly on his list of achievements.”

“Gerros 'The Bomber' Urikhob scored two goals and Robert Nauseb one, while that team included several more Namibian legends like Ronny Kanalelo (currently Benjamin's assistant coach), Benjamin's predecessor Ricardo Mannetti, Mohammed Ouseb, Bimbo Tjihero, Congo Hindjou, Sandro de Gouveia and Eliphas Shivute.”
