Osun United have commenced a major rebuilding process following their relegation, announcing the dismissal of the club’s technical crew and the release of 15 players after what management described as an underwhelming campaign.

The club confirmed that the decision to part ways with the technical team takes immediate effect as part of efforts to reposition the side and improve performance ahead of the next season.

Management also approved the release of 15 players at the end of the campaign, citing low productivity and the need to strengthen the squad as the club seeks a return to competitive success.

The sweeping changes come in the wake of a disappointing season that culminated in relegation, prompting the club hierarchy to initiate a comprehensive review of its football operations.

Club officials believe the restructuring exercise is necessary to restore confidence among supporters and lay the foundation for a stronger and more competitive team.

The dismissal of the coaching crew signals a significant shift in the club’s technical direction, with the management expected to begin the search for a new coaching team tasked with leading the rebuilding process.

Attention is also likely to turn to player recruitment as Osun United look to reinforce key areas of the squad ahead of the forthcoming campaign.

The club is expected to announce further details regarding new appointments, player acquisitions and its strategic plans for an immediate return to higher-level competition in the coming weeks.

For Osun United supporters, the changes represent the beginning of a new chapter as the club seeks to recover from the disappointment of relegation and rebuild a team capable of challenging for promotion.

Osun United were relegated from the 2025/26 Nigeria National League with 20 points in 18 games. They lost 10, Drew two and won six matches. The Omoluabi Warriors will compete in the Nationwide League One next season.
