Rangers International's CEO and General Manager, Amobi Ezeaku, has confirmed that the club's manager, Fidelis Ilechukwu, will remain with the team by renewing his contract. Amobi praised Ilechukwu for aligning perfectly with the club's vision and plans, stating that his commitment makes him an integral part of Rangers' future.
During a press briefing at the club’s administrative office in Enugu, Amobi reassured fans and supporters of Ilechukwu’s dedication to the team, debunking rumors of his possible departure. “Fidelis Ilechukwu plans on staying. He said he is not going to any other club but pledged his commitment to the vision of the club,” Amobi stated, emphasizing the manager's loyalty to Rangers.
Amobi shared a personal conversation with Ilechukwu, highlighting the manager’s enthusiasm for staying at the club. “It has not been up to twenty-four hours since he sat here and told me, ‘Boss, I’m not leaving.’ He made it clear, and I promised him that as long as we’re alive and God keeps us, he’s staying,” Amobi said, dispelling any speculation about Ilechukwu's exit.
Ilechukwu, who joined Rangers in July 2023 after successful stints with Plateau United and Heartland, has been credited with transforming young players into top performers. Amobi highlighted examples such as Uwumiro Frank, who overcame initial criticism to become one of the top five strikers in the league. He also mentioned players like Kazeem and Saviour, noting their growth under Ilechukwu’s mentorship.
As Rangers gear up for the challenges of the NPFL season, Ilechukwu’s commitment and ability to nurture young talent are seen as vital to the club's ambitions. Fans can look forward to a promising season under his leadership, as Rangers aim to maintain their status as a top contender in Nigerian football.
