Nigeria Club Football: Coaches Scramble For Obuh’s Job


Not less than half a dozen coaches have applied to replace John Obuh as coach of Enugu Rangers, according to AfricanFootball.com.

An inside source at the ‘Antelopes House’ said that some top-notch coaches in the domestic league are among those who have indicated interest to take over from Obuh, who was recently informed by the management of Rangers that his contract has expired.

“I think at the last count by the end of last week, over six coaches’ letters of interest have been received. Though I am not too sure about their names as they are being kept a closely guarded secret, I am sure that before the end of the year, it will be clearer who is the front runner to get the job.”

Rangers placed eighth last season.
It would be recalled that since the emergence of the Paul Chibuzor-led management, it has hired and fired over five head coaches – Christian Chukwu, Alphonsus Dike, Okey Emordi (twice) and John Obuh – with the ‘Flying Antelopes’ yet to win a major trophy in over three decades.
