Head Coach Daniel Ogunmodede has signed an extension to his contract at Nigeria Premier Football League side Remo Stars, www.aclsports.com reports.
Ogunmodede, who first joined the club in 2015, has signed a new deal until 2027 with the Sky Blue Stars.
After putting pen to paper, Ogunmodede said: “Saying I am glad is an understatement, I am happy the club is able to see what I have done so far and to have counted me worthy to have an extension is a big motivation for me.
“My thanks, of course, go to my staff and my players; without their empathy and friendship, this wouldn’t be possible. I love my players and it is a pleasure to know that we are going to be together for at least the next three years.”
“The target is to win the league and go far on the continent”
The club’s CEO, Adedoyin Ogungbefun said:
“For us at Remo Stars, we are glad that he is still here, he has done a marvelous job and we hope that he can do better. That’s why we are extending the contract”
“His work rate and professionalism are exceptional and we hope we can have a fruitful time together.”
The former Crown FC trainer rose through the ranks before becoming head coach following their relegation to the Nigeria National League (NNL) back in 2019. He then led the side back to the top-flight two years later before a short stint in Europe.
Upon his return to the club in 2022, he led the club to a second place finish in the league behind Enyimba before another second place finish in the just concluded season behind Rangers. By doing so, the club qualified for the CAF Champions League for the second consecutive year.
Ogunmodede will hope to win the NPFL title after back-to-back second place finishes as well as doing well on the continent.
