Enyimba FC hand two match ultimatum to coach
by Adenle Ahmed Abiola · The Eagle OnlineThe Management of Enyimba Football Club of Aba on Monday issued a two-match ultimatum to the team’s Technical Adviser, Coach Stanley Eguma, to turn the fortunes of the team around.
This was contained in a statement by the Enyimba management made available to newsmen by the media officer, Samson Orji, in Aba.
The ultimatum followed a poor run of results in the ongoing 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The decision was reached after a review of the club’s management on Monday in the wake of the team’s 2-1 defeat to Plateau United on Match Day 10 at the new Jos Stadium.
The loss was the club’s third consecutive awful result following previous defeats to Warri Wolves in Aba and Kun Khalifat FC in Owerri.
The disappointing run has seen the nine-time champions drop to ninth position on the league table.
The club has therefore directed that the technical crew must secure positive results in the next two fixtures against Kano Pillars in Aba this weekend and Abia Warriors in Umuahia.
The management described Enyimba FC as a club with a proud winning tradition and a strong expectation of excellence.

It said: “While we acknowledge the efforts of the technical crew so far, the current run of results does not reflect the club’s ambition.
“We expect an immediate response and improved performance beginning with Sunday’s home fixture against Kano Pillars.”
The club, therefore, assured its supporters and stakeholders that every necessary step is being taken to ensure a quick turnaround in performance as the season progresses.
