The Chief Coach of Bendel Insurance FC of Benin, Monday Odigie, has decided to step down from his position following the team’s challenges in the current Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
According to a notice shared on the club’s official social media platforms on Friday, the club will be facing Kwara United on Saturday without Coach Odigie. The decision for his resignation came after the team’s recent 3-2 loss to Rangers on Sunday evening.
The club emphasized that they are awaiting the Management’s final decision regarding the next steps, while also announcing that Matchday 13 will take place behind closed doors, according to NPFL directives, meaning no fans will be permitted in the stadium.
