Lobi Stars Appoint Daniel Amokachi as New Technical Adviser Amidst Rough Start to the Season
Nigerian football fans are abuzz with news of Lobi Stars’ latest move to shake off their poor start to the season. The Makurdi-based club has sacked erstwhile handler Eugene Agagbe and replaced him with former Nigerian international and football legend, Daniel Amokachi, as their new technical adviser.
Amokachi’s appointment comes on the heels of the team’s dismal performance, which saw them record one win, one draw, and three defeats from their opening five games. According to sources, the team’s poor start to the season was a major contributing factor to Agagbe’s sacking.
However, the changes don’t stop there. The entire backroom staff has also been relieved of their duties, with the exception of Amokachi, and have been instructed to reapply if they wish to continue with the club.
The club’s decision to bring in Amokachi, a highly respected and experienced figure in Nigerian football, is seen as a bold move to turn around their fortunes. Amokachi, who has enjoyed a successful playing career, including stints with Turkish club Beşiktaş and English club Everton, has been tasked with improving the team’s performance on the field.
The Nigerian international is expected to hit the ground running, with Lobi Stars announcing that he will resume work immediately. The club is banking on Amokachi’s experience and expertise to help the team get back on track and challenge for honors.
As the team looks to regroup and refocus, fans will be keenly watching to see if Amokachi’s arrival can spark a turnaround in their fortunes. With a new technical adviser at the helm, Lobi Stars will be hoping to prove that they are more than just a one-trick pony and can compete with the best in the Nigerian Premier League.
