Ayeni joins the Aba-based membership from Nigeria Nationwide League (NNL) aspect Crown FC, changing veteran coach Stanley Eguma, who was relieved of his duties in November.
Saying the appointment on Sunday, the nine-time Nigeria champions welcomed the brand new coach in a quick assertion:
“The touchline has a brand new chief. Welcome, Coach Deji Ayeni.”
The appointment was swiftly adopted by Ayeni’s first outing on the Enyimba bench, because the Folks’s Elephant have been held to a goalless draw by Barau FC of their Nigeria Premier Soccer League (NPFL) Matchday 21 encounter on the Enyimba Worldwide Stadium, Aba.
The outcome underlined the size of the duty dealing with the brand new Technical Adviser. Enyimba’s struggles this season have been nicely documented, with the membership at present sitting eleventh on the NPFL desk after 21 matches.
Ayeni now faces the problem of stabilising performances and outcomes as he seeks to revive the fortunes of the Aba giants within the second half of the marketing campaign.
