I love the way CSN is now starting to promote our local league, even highlighting the names of NPFL stars, CHAN, and coaching appointments.
Welcome to Nigeria and to Lobi Stars specifically, Finish coach, Lönnström. But I thought it was Daniel Amokachi? Or is he strictly the Technical Advisor? Hope there won’t be clash of egos?
All due respect to Mr. Lönnström, but questions abound.
No more coaching jobs in Finland? Or in surrounding European countries? At a time when everybody dey JAPA, this one dey JAWA. Will an IN-DEMAND coach leave Finland and Europe to come and work in Nigeria?
Or could it be that the NPFL has all of a sudden become this extremely attractive enterprise that foreign professionals now seek to be a part of?
Time will answer these and more questions!
All the best to Mr. Lönnström in his new assignment!
