Lobi Stars FC has appointed former Super Eagles forward Daniel Amokachi as their new technical adviser, following the dismissal of Eugene Agagbe. Agagbe’s exit comes after a challenging start to the 2024/25 NPFL season, with the team managing just one win, one draw, and three losses in their first five matches.
Known as the Bull, Amokachi brings a wealth of football knowledge and coaching experience to Lobi Stars, aiming to improve their standing in the league. His appointment signals a significant shift for the club, as the entire coaching staff has also been relieved of duties, with some members offered the chance to reapply for their roles. Amokachi is set to begin work immediately, tasked with revitalizing the team and securing more positive results.
