Former Flying Eagles Coach, John Obuh, has been announced as new head coach of Glo Premier League side Ifeanyi Ubah FC and he will be assisted by German Jurgen Presse.

Both men worked together at the 2013 FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Turkey, where Nigeria reached the knockout rounds.

Obuh who has been without a club since he parted ways with Enugu Rangers last season is taking over the Nnewi club from Bulgarian Mitko Dobrev. The Bulgarian guided the club to the top bracket of the Nigeria league.

Obuh’s appointment was announced to the players by the club proprietor himself after the team’s home defeat to visiting Wikki Tourists last Sunday. That defeat is believed to be the Bulgarian coach’s final straw that broke the camel’s back.

Expectations were high they will beat the Bauchi club to climb to the top of the league, but with the club owner watching from the stands after promising a hefty N500,000 bonus for every goal scored by his wards, “the new Chelsea” of Nigerian football crashed in front of their home fans.

FC Ifeanyiubah is currently in fifth position in the top flight.

I have nothing against him owing a FC, but naming it after his Full Name ( Surname and First name) is somehow. Why not Ifeanyi FC, or Ubah FC or even Capital FC (CFC;since they are Naija chelsea).
