Lobi stars dismisses coach, names Amokachi as technical adviser

Lobi Stars Football Club of Makurdi has officially parted ways with Coach Eugene Agagbe, appointing former Super Eagles Coach Daniel Amokachi as his replacement.

This decision comes in light of the team’s poor performance since the start of the 2024-2025 NPFL season.

A statement released by the Head of Media, Emmanuel Uja, on Sunday confirmed that the entire backroom staff of the club has also been relieved of their duties in this major shakeup.

The statement read, “In a major shakeup, the Board of Lobi Stars FC has officially relieved Coach Eugene Agagbe of his position as Chief Coach with immediate effect.

This decision follows the Board’s review of Agagbe’s failure to meet a five-match win target, managing only one victory while losing three.”

The club aims to turn around its fortunes under Amokachi’s leadership as they seek to improve their standings in the league.

“In a bold move, the Board has appointed former Super Eagles coach, Daniel Amokachi, as the new Technical Adviser of the club.

Amokachi’s appointment also takes immediate effect, as the club seeks to revitalize its strategy and improve performance on the field.

“Additionally, all backroom staff have been relieved of their duties and instructed to reapply if they wish to continue with the club.

They have been asked to hand over all club property in their possession to the club’s secretary immediately.”
