Remo Stars Coach Fires Back at Rangers' Fidelis: 'Let Him Enjoy His Sadness' After 2-1 Win



Remo Stars coach, Daniel Ogunmodede, responded pointedly to comments made by Enugu Rangers International FC coach, Fidelis Ilechukwu, following his team's 2-1 victory in Ikenne. After Ilechukwu expressed disappointment in what he perceived as an overly aggressive approach by Ogunmodede’s side, the Remo Stars coach fired back, stating, “Let him enjoy his sadness. Do you expect him to be happy? If he’s happy then he’s not my friend.”

Ogunmodede’s response reflects a firm stance on the nature of competition, suggesting that disappointment is a natural response to defeat. His remark, “If he’s happy then he’s not my friend,” highlights the rivalry between the two coaches while also implying that true competitors will always be affected by losing. For Ogunmodede, the emotions expressed by Ilechukwu are a sign of a genuine competitive spirit, not a personal attack.

The 2-1 victory was a significant result for Remo Stars, and Ogunmodede’s reaction emphasizes that his focus remains on winning, even if it leads to friction with his coaching peers. His comments suggest that he views conflict as an inevitable part of the high-stakes nature of professional football, where every game counts and friendships can be tested by results on the pitch.

Despite the tension between the coaches, the match itself was a fiercely contested affair, with both sides battling hard for points. Remo Stars capitalized on their home advantage and executed a disciplined performance to secure the win. While Rangers fought back late in the game, they couldn’t overcome the two-goal deficit, leaving Ilechukwu visibly frustrated by the end of the match.

Ogunmodede’s statement serves as a reminder of the emotional intensity of football and the pressure that comes with managing at the highest level. For him, victory is paramount, and he expects his rivals to feel the sting of defeat just as sharply. Whether or not the two coaches will mend their relationship remains to be seen, but for now, Ogunmodede seems content with letting Ilechukwu “enjoy his sadness.”
