Enyimba head coach Stanley Eguma has set an ambitious target ahead of
the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, season to lead the
People’s Elephant to a league title-or at the very least, secure a continental
ticket.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Eguma outlined his vision as the
team intensifies its pre-season preparations for their opening fixture away
to NPFL newcomers Barau FC.
According to him, Anything short of that would fall below expectations fot
the Aba elephants.
Eguma, who guided Rivers United to two league titles and also won
the Federation Cup, then with Dolphins FC, in 2001, understands the
expectations that come with managing a club as decorated as Enyimba.
He noted that, Enyimba are nine-time NPFL champions and two-time
African champions and must aim higher. Eguma also emphasized the
importance of a collective effort to meet those objectives.
Since taking charge midway through last season, inheriting a team in 11th
place, Under his guidance, Enyimba rallied to finish sixth, an improvement,
but still below the club’s high standards.
Beyond his domestic achievements, Eguma also holds a piece of
Enyimba’s continental legacy, having served as assistant to Okey
Emordi during the club’s successful defense of the CAF Champions
League title in 2004.
