Akwa United Reappoints Kennedy Boboye as Head Coach



Akwa United Football Club has officially reappointed Kennedy Boboye as head coach, signing a mid-season managerial contract with the experienced tactician on Monday, January 6, 2025, at the club's office in Uyo.

Club chairman, Elder Paul Bassey, highlighted Boboye's impressive track record as a key factor behind the decision, stating that his return was "necessary" to rejuvenate the team's performance in the second half of the ongoing Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

Boboye, who first joined Akwa United during the 2019-2020 season, guided the team to its first NPFL title in the 2020-2021 season. His leadership also saw the Promise Keepers make their CAF Champions League debut in 2021. However, he stepped down in 2022 following a string of poor results.

After leaving Akwa United, Boboye briefly managed Heartland FC and Sunshine Stars before reuniting with the Promise Keepers. He is expected to resume work later this week, bringing his wealth of experience to spearhead the team’s resurgence.

Akwa United fans will hope that Boboye's return marks a turning point as the club aims to improve its standings in the NPFL this season.
