Experienced tactician Monday Odigie is set to be appointed as the new technical adviser of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Bayelsa United, according to reliable sources close to the club.
Reports indicate that Odigie has reached an agreement with the Prosperity Boys to take over the coaching responsibilities. He will step into the role vacated by Ladan Bosso, who recently departed the former Federation Cup champions to join newly promoted NPFL side Barau FC.
Odigie brings considerable experience to Bayelsa United, having been without a club since his resignation from Bendel Insurance midway through last season. His coaching credentials include guiding Bendel Insurance to victory in the 2023 President Federation Cup, a testament to his tactical acumen and leadership qualities.
Prior to his stint with Bendel Insurance, Odigie served as assistant coach with Enyimba in 2014, one of Nigeria's most successful football clubs. This diverse coaching background positions him well to take on the challenges at Bayelsa United as they prepare for the upcoming NPFL season.
The appointment comes at a crucial time for Bayelsa United as they look to improve their standing in the league and possibly challenge for honors in the upcoming season. Football analysts believe Odigie's experience in winning the Federation Cup could be particularly valuable for the club's ambitions.
The official announcement from the club is expected in the coming days, with preparations for the new season already underway across NPFL clubs.
