Ekiti United, a team in the Nigeria National League, made a bold move by dismissing their entire coaching staff after a disappointing 5-0 loss to Smart City FC. The decision was made following the match at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Monday. Currently sitting in 10th place on the NNL table with 17 points, Ekiti United is looking to turn their season around with a fresh start.

In a surprising turn of events, former Akwa United coach Ayodeji Ayeni has been brought in as the new head coach of Ekiti United. With a record of five wins, two draws, and 10 defeats so far in the campaign, Ayeni will be tasked with leading the team to success. His previous experience managing Sunshine Stars will surely bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the struggling team.

This shake-up in the coaching staff has sparked curiosity and excitement among fans and followers of Nigerian football. As Ekiti United looks to bounce back from their recent setbacks, all eyes will be on Ayeni and his ability to inspire and motivate the players to reach their full potential on the field. Stay tuned for updates on Ekiti United’s journey in the Nigeria National League.
