The Executive Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has approved the appointment of the seasoned football administrator, Mike Idoko, to join the Heartland Management team. This decision takes into consideration his wealth of experience, aiming to steer the team away from the NPFL drop zone.
Mike Idoko, a former footballer in his youth, played for BCC Lions but gained more prominence as a football administrator. He previously served as the GM of Warri Wolves, Sunshine Stars, and Lobi Stars. His timely appointment comes amidst Heartland FC's declining fortunes, and his wealth of experience is expected to be instrumental as the resurgent Heartland FC aims to fight their way out of the drop zone.
General Manager Promise Nwachukwu expressed his gratitude to Governor Uzodimma for approving the addition of the experienced Mike Idoko to the team, considering it a welcomed development due to his wealth of experience and excellent managerial skills.
Nwachukwu stated, "I sincerely appreciate His Excellency, the Governor of Imo State, Gov Hope Uzodimma, for approving the appointment of Mike Idoko into the team. It is truly a welcomed addition to the crew, showing that the Governor is genuinely interested and cares a lot about Heartland, a good sign."
He added, "Mike Idoko is one of my mentors and a good friend. His addition is a plus to all of us. He has not come to take anybody’s job but to support us with his administrative skills, bearing in mind his wealth of experience. His portfolio has not been revealed yet or made official for now, but soon we will make an official announcement to the public."
Nwachukwu addressed the circulating rumors, emphasizing that Idoko is there to work with them and contribute positively. Despite facing challenges, including a dubious penalty decision in their recent match against Katsina United, Heartland FC is focused on their upcoming game against Abia Warriors in the NPFL Oriental Derby. They aim to overcome relegation challenges and concentrate on the task at hand. An official announcement regarding Idoko's role will be made soon.
