April 10 (THEWILL) – In a surprising move, Fatai Osho has resigned from his role as the assistant coach of Nigeria Premier Football League title holders, Rivers United.
Osho, who made the announcement through his social media handle on Monday, thanked the team for the opportunity and wished them well going forward.
THEWILL recalls that Osho rose to prominence while in charge of Remo Stars, leading the team to the NPFL in 2018. He also had a brief stint with the eight-time NPFL champions, Enyimba, before joining Rivers United in August 2021.
Although the reason behind his resignation remains unclear, the tactician’s departure is sure to have an impact on the team’s fortunes. This news has been shocking for many of the club’s fans. The most pressing issue for the management and fans revolves around the question of who replaces Osho.
It is unclear whether the team will look for an internal promotion or bring in someone from outside. The impact of Osho’s departure on the team remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Rivers United will be looking to defend their title with renewed vigour next season.
