Eyimba coach Stanley Eguma given two-match ultimatum or get SACKED

Enyimba International FC coach Stanley Eguma’s future will be dependent on the outcome of the upcoming two matches amid the club’s unimpressive performance.

Eguma and his troops will be facing Kano Pillars at home in Aba this weekend before taking on Abia Warriors in an away fixture in Umuahia the following weekend.

Enyimba have struggled to grind results in their last ten matches, winning three games, drawing four and recording three defeats across the period. Growing frustration among fans and club officials has led to a demand for an immediate improvement in results.

However, Eyimba have given Eguma a two-game ultimatum to turn around the club’s poor run in the ongoing 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

The decision came after an emergency meeting on Monday where the club’s management reviewed the team’s recent performances, including the 2–1 defeat to Plateau United in Jos on matchday ten. That result was Enyimba’s third consecutive league loss, increasing concerns about the team’s direction under Eguma’s leadership.

Eguma and his technical staff must deliver strong performances in their next two fixtures against Kano Pillars at home in Aba this weekend and Abia Warriors away in Umuahia next week or risk losing their positions.

“Enyimba FC has a proud history and a winning culture,” the statement read. “While we appreciate the efforts of the technical crew, recent performances have not met our expectations. We expect an immediate improvement starting with Sunday’s home game against Kano Pillars.”

The club also assured supporters and stakeholders that all necessary measures are being taken to restore confidence, improve performance, and keep Enyimba competitive in the NPFL title race.
