NPFL: Kennedy Boboye Resigns As Sunshine Stars Head Coach

Nigerian football manager and former player, Kennedy Boboye has resigned from his position as head coach of Sunshine Stars.

Naijaonpoint reports that Boboye resigned from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club after the Owena Waves suffered a 1-0 loss to Heartland at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri on Sunday.

The 50-year-old cited persistent interference from the club’s management as the reason for his departure.

Boboye returned to Sunshine Stars for a second tenure last season.

During his time, he successfully steered the Akure club away from relegation after a challenging season.

In his second spell, he achieved a record of 12 wins, seven draws, and 11 losses across 30 matches.

Currently, Sunshine Stars is positioned 14th in the NPFL standings, having accumulated 13 points from 11 games.

Meanwhile, the manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, believes that many desire an end to his team’s era of dominance in English football.

This assertion came on the heels of a disappointing match where Manchester City failed to secure a victory against Brighton during a Premier League clash on Saturday.

In the said match at the Falmer Stadium, City initially took the lead but ultimately saw Brighton mount a comeback to win 2-1, a result that highlighted some vulnerabilities in Guardiola’s side.

Post-match, Guardiola, known for his resilience and competitive spirit, declared his commitment to the challenge ahead. He stated, “I love a challenge. I won’t step back; more than ever, I want to do it.”

This unwavering determination underscores Guardiola’s belief in his squad’s abilities and his desire to continue competing at the highest level despite what he perceives as external pressures for his team’s era to end.

“People want our era to be over but… we’re not finished yet,” he added, emphasizing that he has no intention of stepping away from the club’s coaching job.

Under Guardiola’s stewardship, Manchester City has achieved remarkable success, securing six Premier League titles in just seven seasons, a testament to his innovative tactics.
