Lobi Stars Football Club of Makurdi has announced the appointment of former Super Eagles coach, Daniel Amokachi, as the club’s new Technical Adviser. The decision comes on the heels of Coach Eugene Agagbe’s dismissal after failing to meet a crucial performance target. Agagbe, who was given a mandate to secure at least five wins, managed just one victory and three defeats, prompting the club’s leadership to take decisive action.
Amokachi, a former Nigerian football star and coach, is no stranger to the pressures of top-tier football. His arrival is seen as a bold move by Lobi Stars to overhaul their strategy and revitalize their season. The club has expressed confidence that Amokachi’s experience, both as a player and coach, will bring a new dimension to their game and help turn their fortunes around.
In a statement, Uja Emmanuel, Head of Media at Lobi Stars, said, “The appointment of Daniel Amokachi takes immediate effect, as the club seeks to revitalize its strategy and improve performance on the field. We believe his leadership will steer the team in the right direction.”
The appointment marks a significant shift for Lobi Stars, as the club also announced a complete overhaul of its backroom staff. All staff members have been relieved of their duties, with instructions to reapply if they wish to continue working with the club. Additionally, they have been directed to hand over all club property to the secretary as part of the transition process.
Lobi Stars are looking to use this major restructuring to reignite their performance in the league. With Amokachi at the helm, the club hopes to restore its competitiveness and set a new tone for the remainder of the season. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Amokachi’s influence will reshape the team’s dynamics and impact their results moving forward.
As Lobi Stars enter this new phase, expectations are high that the club, under Amokachi’s guidance, will regain their footing and push for greater success in the Nigerian Professional Football League.
