Yobe Desert Stars Football Club has taken a decisive step to bolster its technical capacity ahead of the second stanza of the 2025/2026 Nigeria National League (NNL) season with the official unveiling of Coach Patrick Bassey as the club’s new Technical Adviser.
The appointment was confirmed by Mohammed Alkali Achama, Chairman of Yobe Desert Stars FC, who described Bassey’s arrival as a strategic move aimed at enhancing the club’s technical strength and ensuring the team is fully prepared for the league restart.
Bassey joins the Potiskum-based club with a strong reputation in Nigerian domestic football, having served in various coaching and leadership roles across the country’s football pyramid. A seasoned tactician, he is widely recognised for his discipline-driven approach and his ability to nurture young talent.
Previously, Bassey led Ranchers Bees FC, where he was appointed head coach ahead of the 2025/2026 NNL season. His tenure was characterised by high expectations to guide the club toward promotion before he departed amid challenging working conditions.
In his first remarks following the announcement, Coach Bassey expressed gratitude to the club’s leadership. “I am honoured to join Yobe Desert Stars at this important juncture of the season. Our focus is clear — to build a competitive side that reflects the club’s pride, passion, and the ambition of its loyal supporters,” he said.
With Bassey now at the helm of the technical team, Yobe Desert Stars hope to translate fresh leadership into strong performances as they continue their push in the NNL.
