By Niyi Busari

Former Super Eagles Coach, Daniel Amokachi has resigned as Technical Adviser of Lobi Stars following abysmal performance of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) club, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

With the resignation of the former Super Eagles star, Lobi Stars' Assistant Coach, Tar Akombo will be in charge of the team during Wednesday's crucial NPFL fixture against second-placed Shooting Stars in Ibadan. Amokachi left the team at the bottom of the table with 22 points from 24 matches.

Recall that Daniel Amokachi announced his resignation in December, 2024 before staging a surprised come back few days later.

On January 27th, Lobi Stars FC adopted the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi as their home ground for the remainder of the 2024/25 NPFL season following poor results in their former adopted home at the Lafia Stadium.

For close to three years, Lobi Stars have continued to move from one place to another in search of an alternative home ground following the prolonged renovation work on their traditional home ground the Aper Aku Stadium Makurdi.

Unfortunately, as the Benue State government and the contractor, Monimichelle Sport Facility Construction Company, continue to trade blames over the slow pace of renovation work on the stadium, Lobi Stars have remained homeless.

So, after poor results at the Lafia Stadium including the 0-1 loss to Rivers United in week 3, Lobi Stars relocated to ATB with the hope of halting their dwindling fortunes.

However, the Coach Daniel Amokachi tutored boys were stunned 0-1 in their first match in Bauchi after they failed to respond to a first half goal by Ifeanyi Anthony Ihemekwele, leading to their eleventh defeat of the season.

The teeming fans of the ‘Pride of Benue’ have continued to blame the club’s battle with relegation on the absence of home support.

So far, Lobi Stars have not won any games in their last five. They recorded two draws, three loses in their last five games, leaving the team at the rock bottom of the table.
