Poor results for MFM FC in the league this season have eventually led to a shake-up in the coaching staff as the team has been without a Technical Adviser for the last two games. The board has finally bagged the signature of Ikechukwu Christian from Broad City FC has their new Technical Adviser.
MFM FC currently maintains the 20th position in the NPFL table after picking two wins and 7 losses in 9 games this season and the MFM board has described the appointment of Ikechukwu Christian from Broadcity as redeployment.
Many people have earlier questioned the appointment of Shola Balogun which relegated Olalekan Gabriel to the bench after the latter performed a successful rescue mission for the Olukoya boys last season and expected he would continue with the good work.
According to Sports247, NLO and TCC side, Broad City have confirmed head coach, Ikechukwu Christian is no longer with the team as he awaits official unveiling by his new team MFM.
“Losing IK and letting him go to a better place is a great achievement for us as a team, for him personally as well. He has shaped a lot in our boys and it’s been working well,” said Broadcity’s Director Bamidele Olusanya to Sports247.
“Good thing is, when MFM came calling, it’s a dream for everyone to grow. It’s a stepping stone for anyone and good for us as it gives us an avenue and a connection for networking with the NPFL side. It was a surprise as well as he should be the youngest head coach of a top-flight league side in Nigeria at 28 years or thereabout,” the Director added.
“Trust me, he will do a whole lot for MFM, be on the lookout and see the changes in MFM FC in the next couple of games. I wish him all the best, the entire management of Broadcity FC wishes him all the best, we’ll follow up with him and be and remain a huge follower and supporter of MFM FC,” Mr. Bamidele concluded.
Ikechukwu has been with Broad City for what the Director describes as a “productive” six months. His statistics reads 7 wins in 10 games and two losses as a grassroots coach.
