“This is not just about unveiling a coach — it’s a decisive step toward rebuilding this great club into a consistent contender. Bendel Insurance is not a mid-table team. We are a club with a rich history, passionate supporters, and lofty ambitions,” Enabulele told the club’s media.
Fresh Start For Insurance
He explained that the decision to part ways with the former coach followed a series of poor results that left the team languishing in the lower half of the table.
“We had to act in the best interest of the club, and we have no regrets about that. Our fans and sponsors deserve more, and we are determined to deliver,” he added.
