The Technical Adviser of Rangers International FC of Enugu, Fidelis Ilechukwu, said on Thursday that the team's rebuilding process would continue ahead of the 2024/2025 football season.
The 2024 NPFL title-winning coach said he would utilize the 042 Coal City Int’l Cup to kick-start his rebuilding process in the team.
The pre-season tournament will feature teams from Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Benin Republic, Brazil, and top teams from the NPFL, competing for the ultimate prize of N50 million, with each participant earning an appearance fee of N50 million for every match played.
According to him, "It is a good thing to have such quality teams in a pre-season tournament, and it will, to a very large extent, help us monitor the players that we have registered for both the continental and domestic challenges.
"As I have been saying, we are rebuilding, as the structure we had earlier set up has been shaken a bit, and we have some new talents that need to be integrated into our playing philosophy.
"I believe that we shall get good results from the pre-season games."
The Flying Antelopes will begin their continental challenge in the middle of August 2024 with a preliminary round fixture against the Comoros Islands side, U.S. Zilimadjou.
