Enyimba Football Club’s management has given Coach Stanley Eguma a two-match ultimatum to turn the team’s fortunes around after a series of poor results in the 2025/26 NPFL season.
The decision was reached after a review of the club’s management on Monday, in the wake of the team’s 2–1 defeat to Plateau United on Matchday 10 at the New Jos Stadium — the club’s third consecutive league loss following previous defeats to Warri Wolves in Aba and Kun Khalifat FC in Owerri.
The disappointing run has seen the nine-time NPFL champions drop to ninth position on the league table, with a record of three wins, four draws, and three losses from ten matches.
The management has therefore directed that the technical crew must secure positive results in the next two fixtures — against Kano Pillars in Aba this weekend and Abia Warriors in Umuahia the following week — as a condition to retain their positions.
“Enyimba FC is a club with a proud winning tradition and a strong expectation of excellence,” the statement read. “While we acknowledge the efforts of the technical crew so far, the current run of results does not reflect the club’s ambition. The management expects an immediate response and improved performance beginning with Sunday’s home fixture against Kano Pillars.”
The club further assured its supporters and stakeholders that every necessary step is being taken to ensure a quick turnaround in performance as the season progresses.
