The newly appointed head of Enyimba FC of Aba Kanu Nwankwo has approved the dissolution of the technical crew led by his former club and national teammate Finidi George, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

In a letter signed by the newly appointed Sporting Director of the team Ifeanyi Ekwueme as approved by Kanu , the entire technical crew of the team comprising the main team and the youth team have been relieved of their jobs.

They were all asked to reapply for their position within the next 48 hours, if they want to continue in their role. The directive is said to be with immediate effect.

Enyimba won the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) by winning the play off under Finidi and will represent Nigeria in the CAF Champions League. The new governor of Abia state Alex Otti appointed Kanu as the new head of the tean with a strange designation as supervisor.

Kanu who replaced Anyansi Agwu, who has been at helm for over 20 years appointed another of his former national team teammate Ekwueme as the sporting director of the team, replacing Jude Anyafudu.

The decision to sack Finid, who still has a year to run on his contract is said to have generated a lot of controversies and could be reversed according to some sources.

The head coach of the senior national team of South Africa Hugo Broos has revealed how his team intends to beat Nigeria to the World Cup 2026 ticket, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

South Africa are in group C of the CAF World Cup qualifiers with Nigeria, Lesotho, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Benin Republic. Only the group winners from the nine groups will qualify automatically for the World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the United States of America.

Broos is wary of the threat of Nigeria but he has his plans lined up for each group game, hinting that they need results from their other games to stand a very good chance of making it to the world cup for the first time since they hosted it in 2010.

“If you look at the group of the draw for the World Cup 2026, I think we don’t really have the most difficult group. On the other side, there are some tricky games in it,” said Broos

“First of all, Nigeria are a very good team, always qualifying for AFCON, so it will be tough games against them. But don’t forget two of our neighbours are in our group – Lesotho and Zimbabwe, who will be very motivated to beat South Africa, so our away games will be very tough.

“And then there are still two other teams in Benin and Rwanda – not the most difficult and best teams of Africa, but their away games are always tricky.

“I think it will be very important in our group not only to win our homes games, and I think that may not be a problem, but the away games is something that will decide who will be first in our group.” he concluded.

As many as seven players from the Nigeria U20 team to the U20 World Cup will be on the move before the end of the summer transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Nigeria were knocked out in the quarter final at the tournament in Argentina, but they made a huge impression beating tournament’s finalist Italy in the group stages and knocked out the host Argentina in the round of 16.

On the strength of their performance, top teams in Europe made advances to some players in the team and before by the end of the summer transfer window, a few of them will likely be on the move.

Already, the left full back of the team Solomon Agbalaka is in Germany to put pen to paper with an unnamed team. Sources said he has already atarted training and a fee has been agreed for the transfer with his team Broad City.

His official announcement is said to be imminent and per what we gathered, his move is the first for the regular back four for Nigeria at the U20 World Cup with the other three Benjamin Fredrick, Daniel Bameyi and Abel Ogwuche also expected to switch teams this summer.

Jose Peseiro is going ahead with his plans for the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of next year Africa Cup of Nations, OwnGoalNigeria.comcan exclusively reveal.

Peseiro’s contract as coach of the senior national team of Nigeria has expired, but according to the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Austine Eguavoen, talks are underway on extending his deal.

Already he has been told to submit his training program for next year Africa Cup of Nations, a tournament that he has been given a target of at least reaching the semi final. A source close to the coach dropped a few details about his plans.

” It involves a training camp outside Nigeria but since the tournament is in January, the idea is to use the FIFA international window in between to try some new players. The plan also has some games in the World Cup qualifiers, which starts in November”, he said.

” From what I know at least six new players will be given first time call up to the team. There is a young goalkeeper who will be in the mix alongside the U20 goalkeeper Chijioke Anigboso, who just moved to Ukraine”, he stated.

English Championship side Leeds United are making progress in their bid to freshen their squad for the task of gaining promotion back to the English Premier League, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Following relegation from the English Premier League, the idea of their recruitment is to target players from the English Premier League, due to experience as they are faced with the prospect of losing some of their key players before the end of the summer transfer window.

Top among their target is out of favour Nigeria international forward Emmanuel Dennis, who hasn’t found his feet at English Premier League side Nottingham Forest since his move last summer.

Dennis has been told he is surplus to requirements and was left out of their pre season tour to Spain. Clearly paving the way for him to sort his future and his immediate aim is to remain in England, where he was Watford’s top scorer two seasons ago.

Last season he scored just two goals and had three assists. A far cry from his time at Watford where he scored  10 goals with six assists. Forest paid £20m to sign him on the back of that form but it hasn’t worked out, hence the decision to let him leave.

The former first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of Nigeria Maduka Okoye has sealed a season long loan move to Italian Serie A side Udinese from English Championship side Watford, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.

Okoye joined Watford last summer from Dutch Sparta Rotterdam in a deal which was a club record for any goalkeeper of the English side. He was signed on the back of two fantastic seasons in the Dutch league.

He however failed to replicate that same form at Watford playing in just two cup games before a shoulder injury brought his season to a permature end. His lack of game time cost him the number one spot of the senior national team of Nigeria.

Germany based Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba broke the news of his loan movs to the Serie A side, which he said is geared towards his quest for regular run of games. The Serie A side is owned by the same company that owns Watford.

Last season Udinese finished 12th in the Serie A with 32 year old goalkeeper Marco Silvestri keeping goal in 35 of the 38 games they played last season. Second choice Danielle Padelli was in goal for the three remaining games, he is 37 years old.

The proposed transfer of former Nigeria U20 forward Chukwubuikem Ikwuemessi to French Ligue 1 side Le Havre from Slovenian side NK Celje has broken down over a disagreement on wages, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Ikwuemessi emerged as one of the hottest property in Slovenia after a very successful season, where he impressed with his all round play to compliment his tally of nine goals and five assists.

A deal of €1.5m payable in four installments was agreed between both clubs plus a 15% sell on. The agreement came after he turned down a move to Latvian side Riga two weeks ago despite reaching full agreements including personal terms.

The 21 year old has a routine medical and was expected to arrive France today for presentation but a disagreement on personal term has brought about a collapse of the deal with the newly promoted Ligue 1 side. Le Havre are back in the top flight after a 14 years absence from the French top division.

A member of the Ladan Bosso led Nigeria U20 team of 2020 to the WAFU tournament, where they failed to make it to the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

Nigeria international forward Paul Onuachu has been told he is surplus to requirements by the new coach of Southampton Russell Martin, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

Martins replaced Ruben Selles following their relegation to the English Championship, and he has set about the task of lifting the team back to the English Premier League by making some very ruthless decisions.

Three days ago, the team were beaten 0-2 by Benfica in their first pre-season game, which officially marks the start of the reign of the new coach. In his squad there was no spot for lanky Nigerian forward Paul Onuachu.

Onuachu joined the team in January from Belgium side Genk, where he broke every available record for three seasons but he has found it really tough to replicate the same form in England.

He played 11 games and didn’t manage to find the back of the net even once as the team stumped to their first relegation in a decade. His future is now up in the air.

A squad of 26 players left for Turkey as part of their pre-season training but the Nigerian wasn’t included, the manager confirmed he is free to leave the team while clearing the air on players who weren’t part of the trip.

“We have a couple injuries which is why people are back where they are, nothing major at all,” Martin insisted.

“There’s no point bringing them here when they can get really good rehab there. They should all be available for next week. The squad is too big.

“We have added two players who are going to be brilliant for us. There will be people leaving.

“Whilst they are here, they have been brilliant – despite external stuff going on, the noise and what people’s agents want them to do or how they want them to behave”, he said on the absence of Onuachu and Armel Bella-Kotchap.

28 year old Onuachu is off interest to German Bundesliga side Stuttgart and contacts have been made in that direction, but the striker is wary of joining a team that will likely be in a relegation scrap like Southampton last season.
