According to Seyi Amos, "Our goal is to raise one of the most talented group of players for our football Academy. We believe in excellence and this is reflected in all what we do, so when we wanted a choice of a technical director and consultant for the Academy, we decided to go for an individual with a track record on youth football development and Dele Olagbaju's resume clearly fits that.

"We want our football academy to be one of the best from West Africa and by extension Africa in a few years time, so it's important that the foundation for us to attain that is properly structured which is why we decided to go for an individual with proven record and successes on youth football development and that is why we have settled for him," concluded Mr Seyi Amos.

Coach Dele resumed officially on Monday, 11th with a familiarisation exercise with other members of the technical unit. He will also commence the evaluation of the current crop of players of the Academy.
