Akwa United Mourns Passing of Former Team Manager Emmanuel Udoh

Posted : 04 June 2025

Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) relegation-bound Akwa United FC on Tuesday announced the passing of its immediate past Team Manager, Emmanuel Udoh.

 

The management of the Promise Keepers stated that the soft-spoken leader died in his sleep on Saturday.

 

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our Team Manager, Emmanuel Udoh KSJ, who passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, 31 May 2025.”

 

The late Sir Emmanuel Udoh was a former player for the Green Eagles of Nigeria, Calabar Rovers, and Bendel Insurance, where he played as a right-back.

 

He was nicknamed “Bullet” by his fans and admirers due to his powerful kicks. Upon retiring from active football, he served as the Akwa Ibom State Football Association (FA) Secretary for thirteen years before being appointed Team Manager of Akwa United Football Club.

 

During his tenure as Team Manager, the club won the FA Cup in 2015 and 2017 and also claimed the Nigeria Premier Football League title in 2021.

 

Detailed information about his funeral will be communicated by his family. We pray to God Almighty to rest his soul and grant his family, loved ones, and the entire football fraternity the strength to bear this loss.
