Akwa United has accepted Fatai Osho’s resignation as head coach of the Promise Keepers.
According to chairman of the club, Paul Bassey, “coach Osho is a victim of world wide football tradition where coaches, no matter how good, pay the price for poor run of their teams.
” He is a good coach, he remains one of the best in the land, unfortunately, it did not work for him at Akwa United,” Bassey told the club’s media.

“Osho came to a club that in the past eight years boasts a tradition of excellence, hence the misgivings of our supporters world wide. He is a victim of Akwa United’s success. We wish him well going forward”.
The management added that replacing Osho will not be easy and appreciate all those who have expressed the desire to coach the club.
“We have received so many applications home and abroad and we are not in a hurry to make a decision. For now, the assistant coaches led by Umar Abdullahi are in charge of the team”.
In a tweet following his resignation Osho wrote:
“Elder Paul Bassey, I can’t thank you enough for my time at Akwa United FC. You’re a rare breed that deserves all happiness and success. We gave it our all but it was not to be.This temporary set back will be followed by unimaginable success. I will forever appreciate you”.
