Kano Pillars are among the clubs chasing the signature of former Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede, with the Sai Masu Gida reportedly viewing him as the right man to lead the club into a new era.
Ogunmodede made a name for himself as one of the sharper young tactical minds in Nigerian football after leading Remo Stars to the NPFL title two seasons ago. He departed the Ikenne club last season after a difficult run of form for the team.
Beyond club football, Ogunmodede currently serves as one of the assistant coaches in the Super Eagles setup — a role that underlines the level of regard he commands in Nigerian football circles.
Enyimba are also in the running for his services. The Aba giants are looking to reshape their squad following a turbulent season and see Ogunmodede as part of that reconstruction.
For Pillars, the interest in Ogunmodede comes at a time when the club is clearly looking for a defined direction. A coach of his profile — title-winning experience, national team involvement — would represent a significant appointment.
According to reports, Ogunmodede is expected to decide on his next club within the coming weeks. Whether he chooses Pillars or Enyimba, this is a race worth watching closely for every Sai Masu Gida fan.
