Enyimba Head Coach Lawrence Ukaegbu has declared that “the storm is over” as the struggling giants prepare to recover lost ground in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
According to the former junior international, Enyimba’s recent struggles are part of the challenges faced by big teams, but collective resolve has put the club back on track.
“The crisis really affected the players and our output on the field. But now everything has calmed down,” Ukaegbu said.
“The chairman, Kanu Nwankwo, has asked everyone to calm down and work together. It was a misunderstanding of roles, which should not have arisen in the first place. But Kanu is a calm man, who does his thing with all sense of responsibility. He has been able to galvanise the team, hence the results people are beginning to see.”
While noting that external ambitions to control the club still exist, Ukaegbu emphasized that Chairman Kanu remains focused entirely on leading Enyimba to glory.
Despite currently sitting 18th in the NPFL standings, Ukaegbu remains fiercely confident in the team’s prospects, pointing to the quality of the squad and the expertise of Cameroonian Technical Advisor Emmanuel Deutsch.

“Ask any of the teams that have faced us this season, even in matches we lost. They will tell you that Enyimba is the team to beat,” Ukaegbu stated.
“We have a perfect technical advisor, Emmanuel Deutsch from Cameroon. He is well experienced. And the quality in the players we have makes me feel and believe that we will carry the league. Even if we don’t win the league, we will play on the continent next season.”
Enyimba will look to translate that renewed confidence into crucial points this weekend as they travel to Lafia to face Nasarawa United.
