As the commencement of the NPFL 2019/2020 regular season draws nearer, just as the rumors of players moving from one club to another continue to rave, so is that of the Coaches.
Exclusivenews findings revealed that there have been alot of negotiations between Coaches and various clubs. The news will continue until the league season eventually begins.
It’s now certain that Coach Gbenga Ogunbote would stand on the technical lines for Lobi stars as the season begins. As at last check, Ogunbote has agreed personal terms with Lobi stars. Ogunbote was been courted by Akwa United immediately he announced his departure from Rangers International. He beat Abia Warriors Head Coach Emmanuel Deutch to it.
Also certain is the movement of former Remo stars Coach Fatai Osho to Enyimba International as Chief Coach. Osho who left Remo last season will work under Coach Abdallah who is the Head Coach. Earlier, Abdallah was caught on the cross road of either over to Katsina United. Before he decided to the return to the fold of the league champions.
Fedelis Ilechukwu is been highly sought after in the transfer window. Rangers International are banking on Ilechukwu to take them to the continent. They have to battle with Heartland FC who are also in hot pursuit of the Coach. However, one would have to wait and see how he would be able to convince Pastor Olukoya of MFM of his willingness to leave the club. The man of God personally intervened last season to keep him in the club. Heartland also have Abdullahi Biffo, Kabiru Dogo and Emmanuel Deutch as various options.
Akwa Utd are still weighing the various options available to them to know who would replace Brazilian Rafeal Everton who fell out with the club before the end of the Super Six in Lagos. Delta Force, Rivers United, Nasarawa United, Sunshine stars are holding on to their Coaches, Abia Warriors still hold their Coach as first option of refusal. They are working hard to retain the Coach Emmanuel Deutch who reduced them from the drop zone last season. The Coach we gathered is presently holidaying in his home town, Cameroon.
In a matter of days, the coast will be clear on who is moving where.
