  • Jimoh Adura steps in to revive Ogbomoso United’s struggling NLO season after a slow start.

  • Ogbomoso United aims for a comeback in the NLO with new leadership and renewed hope.

Ogbomoso United’s recent coaching change could be the turning point their season desperately needs.

Following a frustrating start to their 2025 Nationwide League One (NLO) campaign, the club made the bold decision to replace head coach Jimoh Yekeen with Jimoh Adura on an interim basis.

Yekeen’s departure came after the team managed just two points in their opening four matches, leaving them languishing in ninth place in the Iseyin Centre group.

The poor run triggered concern among supporters, stakeholders, and club management alike. Something had to change, and quickly.

Why the Club Let Yekeen Go

The decision to part ways with Jimoh Yekeen wasn’t taken lightly.

Despite his efforts, the results simply weren’t there.

Players looked uncertain on the pitch, and the team struggled to find rhythm and confidence.

With mounting pressure and no visible turnaround in sight, Yekeen chose to resign clearing the path for new leadership.

In grassroots football, especially within the competitive landscape of the NLO, slow starts can derail an entire season.

Ogbomoso United’s coaching change reflects a desire to take immediate corrective action before the campaign slips too far out of reach.

Why Jimoh Adura Got the Call

Stepping into the spotlight is Jimoh Adura—a figure who’s no stranger to the club.

Adura has been involved in different capacities behind the scenes and is known for his strong leadership qualities and deep understanding of the game at this level.

Appointing him as interim coach brings continuity without compromising ambition. He understands the culture of the club and what’s at stake.

More importantly, he has a track record of connecting well with players and motivating teams when morale is low.

What This Means for Ogbomoso United’s Season

Adura’s immediate challenge is to steady the ship and help the club climb the NLO standings.

With only two points from four matches, every game from here on out feels like a must-win.

The coaching change isn’t just about switching personne, it’s a strategic pivot.

The team needs sharper decision-making, more fluid tactics, and the kind of mental strength that can carry them through tight matches.

Adura’s arrival signals a return to basics: structured training, tighter defense, and clearer instructions on game day.

If he can bring all that to the table, Ogbomoso United may still have time to salvage their season.

A Broader Trend in Grassroots Football

What’s happening at Ogbomoso United isn’t unique.

Across Nigeria’s grassroots football scene, clubs in the Nationwide League One are making quicker decisions on coaching roles. Results matter.

Fans expect passion, progress, and professionalism even in lower divisions.

By acting decisively, Ogbomoso United has sent a message: the club is serious about improving and won’t settle for mediocrity.

Whether Adura proves to be a short-term solution or a long-term asset depends on what happens in the next few weeks.

Final Thoughts

Ogbomoso United’s coaching change may have come under pressure, but it was also a calculated move to save the season.

Jimoh Adura steps into a challenging role, but his familiarity with the club and passion for the game offer a glimmer of hope.

As the NLO season continues, fans will be watching closely to see if this bold shift brings the results Ogbomoso United needs. One thing’s certain: the fight isn’t over yet.
