Lobi Stars has announced the appointment of former Super Eagles player and assistant coach Daniel Amokachi as their new head coach, succeeding Eugene Agagbe, who departed the club with immediate effect.
Agagbe has-been the head coach at the NPFL club since first starting as the interim manager in March 2022, following the departure of Eddy Dombraye. The club announced that he has signed another two year contract back in August.
The decision to part companies with Agagbe came as a result of their underwhelming start to the season, which saw them without a win in their first four games before beating Shooting Stars on 1-0 on Saturday.
Daniel Amokachi, who has had stints with Nassarawa United, Enyimba international and Ifeanyi Ubah as well as twice serving as Assistant Coach of the Super Eagles, comes in with a wealth of experience, which Lobi Stars will count on to get them out of their struggles.
