Akwa United Appoints Kennedy Boboye As New Head Coach, Following John Obuh Resignation

Kennedy Boboye has been appointed the new head coach of Nigeria Professional Football League club, Akwa United.

Boboye takes charge of the Uyo club following John Obuh’s resignation on Monday morning.

Obuh cited indiscipline and insubodination by some of the players as the main reason for his decision to leave the club.

Boboye previously had spells at Sunshine Stars, Abia Warriors, Plateau United and Remo Stars.

He led Plateau United to win their first NPFL title in 2017.

Boboye had his first training session with the Promise Keepers on Monday afternoon and will be unveiled before Wednesday’s NPFL matchday-nine encounter against Rivers United at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo.

Akwa United have recorded just one win from their opening eight league games this season. The Promise Keepers are currently in 16th position in the NPFL table.
