Former Sporting Lagos Coach Paul Offor Appointed Head Coach of Grassrunners FC: A New Era for the Ambitious Club



In a noteworthy development in Nigerian football, Paul Offor has been appointed as the new head coach of the newly established Grassrunners Football Club. The former Sporting Lagos coach has signed a three-year contract with the National League One (NLO) team, extending through 2027, with an option for renewal subject to mutual agreement.

Gbenga Agbejoye, the CEO of Grassrunners FC, announced the appointment and expressed enthusiasm about the new chapter for the club. "We are thrilled to welcome Coach Paul Offor to Grassrunners FC," Agbejoye said. "Securing him on a three-year deal is a testament to our commitment to advancing this club and realizing our ambitious goals in Nigerian football."

Grassrunners FC, despite its status as a relatively young club, has made clear its intent to make a significant impact in the Nigerian football scene. The appointment of Offor, known for his ability to build teams from scratch, underscores the club’s determination to make strides in the competitive landscape. Agbejoye highlighted the importance of this move, stating, "Although Grassrunners is new, our ambitions are high. Bringing in Coach Offor demonstrates our serious intent to grow and establish ourselves."

Offor's previous accomplishments lend considerable weight to his new role. At Sporting Lagos, he played a pivotal role in the team’s ascent from the Nigeria National League (NNL), the second tier of Nigerian football, to the elite Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL). This successful tenure showcased his skill in team development and his strategic expertise in elevating a club to higher levels of competition.

After his success with Sporting Lagos, Offor continued his career at Kano Pillars before moving to Grassrunners FC. His return to a role focused on building and developing a team aligns perfectly with Grassrunners FC's vision for growth and progress.

The official unveiling of Coach Paul Offor is anticipated in the coming days. Grassrunners FC has assured him of the necessary support to facilitate a smooth transition and a successful tenure. With Offor's appointment, Grassrunners FC is poised to embark on a new era, aiming to make a significant mark in Nigerian football under his experienced guidance.
