In the technical department, Coach Paul Offor, who previously guided Sporting Lagos to promotion in the 2023–24 season, has been appointed Head Coach. He will be responsible for preparing the Promise Keepers for the 2025–26 Nigeria National League (NNL) campaign.
The rest of the technical crew comprises Coach Tosin Adekugbe, Coach Okechukwu Promise, Coach Bassey Akpan as Goalkeeper Trainer and Coach Akarandut Orok.
