Eguma Gets Three-Match Ultimatum

 

Rivers United handler Stanley Eguma may be fired unless results improve swiftly for the club in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in the next three games. The Port Harcourt club currently sit in 11th position with 10 points from a possible 24 and have failed to get any point away from home this term.

The sponsors of the club are unimpressed with recent performances and have now read the riot act to Eguma and the rest of the technical department of the club following yet another underwhelming display on Wednesday against Sunshine Stars.

Boma Iyaye Rivers State sports commissioner said “The Rivers State Government has invested heavily in the club and so far, the results have been far from impressive, following the unimpressive 0-0 draw on Wednesday with a struggling side like Sunshine Stars who are just one place from the bottom of the table, we have decided to act. The technical crew led by Stanley Eguma have now been given a three-match ultimatum to improve the fortunes of the club and justify the huge amount of money spent on the club by the Rivers state government or be shown the way out. This is not a witch hunt but an honest and concerted effort in ensuring that all involved in this club key into our philosophy of making Rivers United the most foremost in the country”.

United will face Ikorodu United , El Kanemi Warriors and Heartland in their next three league games this season.
