Remo Stars Dismiss Speculation Over Coach’s Resignation

Nigeria Premier Football League champions Remo Stars have refuted reports that their head coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, has resigned from his position. The speculation emerged on Tuesday, following the team’s poor start to the 2025/26 season, with the Sky Blue Stars currently sitting in 17th place on the NPFL table with 10 points from eight games.

The Ikenne-based club recently suffered an early exit from the CAF Champions League, losing 7-1 on aggregate to South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns. However, in a statement released on Wednesday, Remo Stars confirmed that Ogunmodede remains their head coach. The club emphasized that Ogunmodede is still an integral part of their technical crew and will continue to serve in his current role.

As an assistant coach with the Super Eagles, Ogunmodede is set to travel with other backroom staff to Rabat, Morocco, this weekend for the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs tie against Gabon. The confirmation of Ogunmodede’s continued tenure as head coach provides stability for the team, which is seeking to improve its performance in the ongoing NPFL season.

Remo Stars’ statement aimed to clarify the situation and reassure fans, sponsors, and stakeholders about the team’s leadership. By retaining Ogunmodede, the club is demonstrating its commitment to its current coaching setup, despite the recent setbacks. With the NPFL season still in its early stages, Remo Stars will be looking to turn their fortunes around and climb up the league table.

As the team prepares for its upcoming matches, the focus will be on improving their performance and regaining their footing in the league. With Ogunmodede at the helm, Remo Stars will be seeking to capitalize on their experience and expertise to drive the team forward. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the trajectory of the team’s season, and fans will be watching closely to see how the Sky Blue Stars respond to the challenges ahead.
