The management of Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin has announced the appointment of Coach Kennedy Boboye as the club’s new technical manager.

The appointment was announced on Monday via a statement by Kehinde Osagiede, the club’s director of media and communications.

Osagiede said the appointment, which takes immediate effect, followed a mutual agreement between the club’s management and the Delta-born tactician.

He said the new technical manager is expected to assume full responsibility for the team’s technical department.

Osagiede explained that Boboye was selected after a thorough evaluation process that found him suitable for the role based on his proven track record.

According to him, this includes his impressive credentials and vast experience in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

The Bendel Insurance FC director of media and communication further said the former Plateau United and Akwa United coach had been offered a two-year substantive contract, with the official unveiling scheduled for Tuesday in Benin.

”The management of Bendel Insurance FC is optimistic that Coach Boboye’s appointment will usher in a new phase of improved performance and renewed confidence in the ongoing season,” he said.

Meanwhile, the executive chairman of the Edo Sports Commission, Amadin Enabulele, has expressed appreciation to Coach Baldwin Bazuaye (MON), an executive director in the commission, for stepping in as interim technical manager following the suspension of the head coach, Greg Ikhenoba, on October 6.
