Former Super Eagles star Daniel Amokachi has resigned from his role as Technical Adviser of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side, Lobi Stars. His departure comes as the club continues to struggle in the ongoing NPFL25 season.
Following Amokachi’s resignation, Assistant Coach and former team captain, Tar Akombo, has been appointed as the interim coach. Akombo will lead the team in their crucial NPFL fixture against Shooting Stars on Wednesday in Ibadan.
The Alia Boys have endured a difficult campaign, currently sitting at the bottom of the league table. The team has managed just 22 points from 24 matches, putting them in serious danger of relegation.
Amokachi, who took charge earlier in the season, was expected to turn the team’s fortunes around, but poor results led to increasing pressure. His resignation now leaves Akombo with the tough task of reviving the team's season.
Lobi Stars will be hoping for a positive result against Shooting Stars as they fight to escape the drop zone. The match in Ibadan presents an opportunity for the players to respond positively to the recent changes in their technical setup.
Fans of the club will be eager to see how Akombo adapts to his new role, as he steps into leadership during a crucial phase of the season. His familiarity with the squad could be an advantage in motivating the players.
The club’s management is yet to announce plans for a permanent replacement for Amokachi. However, Akombo’s performance in the coming games could influence the decision on whether to retain him or appoint a new head coach.
As the NPFL season progresses, Lobi Stars will need to show significant improvement to avoid relegation. The upcoming fixtures will be crucial in determining their fate in the top flight.
With the departure of Amokachi, all eyes will now be on Akombo and his ability to lead the team through this difficult period.
