February 24, (THEWILL) – In a decisive move to reposition the club, Lobi Stars has appointed Coach Mohammed Baba Ganaru as Interim Head Coach until the end of the current season.
The club’s chairman, Dr Philip Nongu, stated that the appointment became necessary following the resignation of the former Technical Adviser and the team’s current standing on the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) table. He appealed to fans not to relent in their support for the club.
“Everything we do at the moment is for the good of our beloved club. While we welcome criticisms, such should be constructive and aimed at enhancing our performance. Let us remain steadfast in our support, knowing that with God, nothing is impossible,” he said.
Dr Nongu expressed confidence in the ability of the new coach, who has previously managed Lobi Stars, and reaffirmed the management’s commitment to providing him with the necessary support to ensure the club retains its NPFL status.
The board has also constituted a management team, with Dr Philip Nongu, the club chairman, serving as the head alongside Head Coach Mohammed Baba Ganaru.
Other members of the management team include Lawrence Adoga as Team Manager, Solomon Aondoakaa as Accountant, Emmanuel Uja as Media Director, Christopher Ayom as Team Nurse, and Felix Pilakyaa as the Club Welfare Officer. Additionally, John Gaadi has been drafted to the team as the Goalkeepers’ Trainer.
With these strategic appointments, Lobi Stars is poised to turn the tide as the season draws to a close.
A statement signed by the Media Director, Emmanuel Uja, confirmed that the Pride of Benue will face Niger Tornadoes in a highly anticipated North Central derby this Wednesday in Bauchi.
