Ikorodu City Recall Ozebagbe as Technical Adviser After Aweroro’s Shock Exit

Posted : 26 July 2025

Following the shock exit of Nurudeen Aweroro, Ikorodu City FC have decided to recall their former coach, Bright Ozebagbe, who was previously sacked for poor performances during the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

 

Ikorodu City FC officially announced the return of Ozebagbe as the club’s Technical Adviser, following Aweroro’s departure to Shooting Stars Sports Club.

 

Ozebagbe was sacked six weeks into the season after the team failed to secure a win in their opening six matches. His replacement, Aweroro, successfully guided the club from the relegation zone to an impressive fourth-place finish.

 

Despite his earlier dismissal, Ozebagbe is credited with leading Ikorodu City to promotion from the Nigeria National League (NNL) and was at the helm when the club lifted the 2023 Lagos FA Cup title.

 

His familiarity with the team’s structure and players appears to have influenced the club’s decision to bring him back in a more strategic role.

 

In an official statement released on the club’s social media platforms on Saturday morning, Ikorodu City confirmed dual technical appointments:

 

“Bright Ozebagbe will serve as Technical Adviser of the club, overseeing the development of all categories of the club. Ali Kandil becomes Head Coach.”

 

Ali Kandil, who has previously worked within the club’s coaching setup, now steps up as head coach and will take direct charge of the first team for the upcoming season.

 

The new appointments aim to build on the club’s recent progress and stabilize performance ahead of the 2025/2026 NPFL season.
