Akwa United Reappoints Kennedy Boboye As Head Coach
Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club Akwa United have agreed a mid-season managerial contract with Kennedy Boboye to return to the club as head coach.
The club’s management signed the deal with Boboye at the club’s office in Uyo on Monday and the coach is expected to begin work later this week.
“Boboye’s return to the team was necessary. The decision to re-assign the coach was because of his track records and previous achievements with the club,” Chairman of the club, Paul Bassey said.
Bassey expressed optimism that the coach will bring his wealth of experience to bear on the team with a turnaround in the team’s fortunes in the second half of the season.
Boboye joined the Promise Keepers during the 2019-2020 NPFL season and won the league title with the club in the 2020-2021 season – his second league title as a coach after lifting the trophy with Plateau United in 2017.
Boboye was in charge of Akwa United as they made their CAF Champions League debut in 2021 and after a run of poor results, he resigned from his position as head coach of the team in 2022.
Following his departure from Akwa United, he had a brief stint with Heartland FC and Sunshine Stars before rejoining the Promise Keepers ahead of the second stanza of the 2024-2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
