Bendel Insurance Football Club of Benin has appointed Coach Kennedy Boboye as its new Technical Manager.
The club announced the appointment in a statement issued by its Director of Media and Communications, Kehinde Osagiede, on Monday.
Osagiede said the appointment, which takes immediate effect, followed a mutual agreement between the club’s management and the Delta-born coach.
He explained that Boboye was chosen after a rigorous evaluation process that confirmed his suitability for the role, citing his proven track record, strong credentials, and extensive experience in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
According to him, the former Plateau United and Akwa United coach has been offered a two-year contract, with his official unveiling scheduled for Tuesday in Benin.
“The management of Bendel Insurance FC is optimistic that Coach Boboye’s appointment will usher in a new era of improved performance and renewed confidence in the ongoing season,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Executive Chairman of the Edo Sports Commission, Amadin Enabulele, expressed appreciation to Coach Baldwin Bazuaye (MON), an Executive Director in the Commission, for serving as Interim Technical Manager following the suspension of Head Coach Greg Ikhenoba on Oct. 6.
Bendel Insurance, one of Nigeria’s historic football clubs, is banking on Boboye’s tactical expertise and championship-winning record to reposition the team for greater success in the NPFL.
