Coton FC is set to bolster its squad with the imminent return of Odo Chabi Bio, the Beninese U23 international currently with AS Sobemap. The reigning champions of Benin have reportedly reached an agreement to bring the 23-year-old forward back to the club, with the official announcement expected shortly.
Odo Chabi Bio, who has been a standout performer in the Pro League and Super Pro League, is on the verge of rejoining Coton FC after a notable stint with AS Sobemap.
Last season, Bio demonstrated his attacking prowess by scoring 14 goals and providing 3 assists, showcasing his capability as a key player in the top tiers of Beninese football.
This potential reunion is particularly significant as Coton FC gears up for the preliminary rounds of the CAF Champions League.
Bio, who was an integral part of Coton FC’s historic victory in 2022, is expected to add valuable experience and depth to the squad.
His return will see him reconnect with former teammates and continue the successful partnership he previously enjoyed with the team.
The forward is set to sign a two-year contract with Coton FC, which will see him remain with the club until June 2026.
His previous tenure with the team between January and June 2022 was marked by substantial contributions, and his return is anticipated to strengthen the club’s ambitions on both domestic and continental fronts.
Bio’s acquisition aligns with Coton FC’s strategic preparations for the upcoming season. The club, under the guidance of French coach Victor Zvunka, is actively preparing for its participation in the CAF Champions League preliminaries.
As part of his integration into the team, Bio is expected to join his new teammates in the West African pre-season tournament, the Coal City Cup, which will take place in Nigeria from August 1 to 11.
The official confirmation of Odo Chabi Bio’s return to Coton FC is anticipated at the start of the week of July 21. Once finalized, this transfer will mark a significant step in both Bio’s career and Coton FC’s preparations for a challenging season ahead.
