2023/2024 NPFL gets first casualty as Heartland FC mgt announces major shake up of Technical Crew

Posted : 22 November 2023
The management of Heartland FC, a Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side, announced on Wednesday the sacking of its former Chief Coach, Christian Obi, and named two-time League-winning Coach, Kennedy Boboye, as his replacement.

The shake-up is connected to the earlier three-match ultimatum given to Obi to improve the fortunes of the club or be sacked. However, after the expiration of the ultimatum, following the latest draw against Sporting Lagos FC on Match Day 9 of the NPFL, Obi was given a marching order.

To change the dwindling fortunes of Heartland FC in the ongoing 2023/24 NPFL season, the management of the five-time league champions announced the employment of Kennedy Boboye as the club's new Technical Adviser.

According to the management, Boboye, who has signed a one-year renewable contract with the Naze Millionaires, comes to the Owerri side with the impeccable record of winning the league title twice with Plateau United (2017) and Akwa United (2021).

The former Remo Stars gaffer's first target will be to ensure Heartland FC starts winning their league games from the weekend blockbuster Oriental derby tie with Enyimba in Owerri.

Boboye, in an interview, expressed awareness of the enormity of the task before him. "I am ready for the task. I had different thoughts when I was contacted initially because of the club's position on the league table, but with what I have seen on the ground, I am certain we can pull through," Boboye said. "We need everyone to get to work. You are going to be seeing a new mentality in the team. The players have assured there would be changes, and I am excited to be here."

In another shake-up in the team, Charles Uzor has been elevated to the position of Head Coach as Willie Udube's replacement. Also, Osuorji Linus Maduabuchi is now the new Team Manager, replacing Victor Ezuruike, who has been redeployed to the club's feeder team. The head coach of the Heartland FC Feeder team, Chidi Ike, was also sent to the Heartland FC main team to fortify the technical crew.
