Clubs in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) have begun making changing to their teams as the end of the season looms. While Bayelsa United have sacked its manager, Rangers of Enugu supporters demand sack of the club management while wara United have reinstated its coach.
Bayelsa United have sacked head cach, Evans Ogenyi as the club languishes in 19th place of the Glo Premier League log after 25 match days.
According to the Nation, Ogenyi revealed his sack to Supersport.com following his teams defeat to fellow relegation battlers Sharks FC.

He reportedly said on Tuesday: “I’ve left Bayelsa United.”
Sunday’s result left the club in 19th position with 22 points from 25 matches. Ogenyi is the third coach for the club this season after Solomon Ogbeide and George Ederekuomoh. Bayelsa are however yet to make an official announcement on the sack.
Meanwhile, Rangers Supporters Club led by national president, Ibuchukwu Nwodo, have called for the sack of the club’s management led by Paul Chibuzor with immediate effect.
Nwodo, led over 100 members of the supporters club based in Enugu to the state House of Assembly to protest the inability of the club to sign the high-calibre players that interest the club.
The protesters went with a letter which was presented to the house leader for Youth and Sports, Nelson Uduji.
According to the Nation, some of the placards carried to the state house of assembly read: “Our ‘Gburugburu’ please save our dear Rangers from impending Relegation”, “Eight whole years with much money. No Trophy!! No achievement”, “The cries of supporters, the cries of Igbos, Change of the Management”, “Govt. Please invite EFCC to probe Mr. Paul Chibuzor-led management.”, “Rangers the known pride of Igbos has lost their pride in this management”, “Mr. Paul Chibuzor has frustrated the Rangers board and supporters club.”; “Is Rangers a family business?”
Enugu Rangers
Nwodo said: “The reason for our action today is very clear as we realise how wonderfully well this management regime of Rangers led by Paul Chibuzor has performed.
“We have come to realise that Rangers is not doing well not because of lack of the right calibre of players or coaches, but the right management hence, our call for a complete overhaul of the management. We have been assured by the house leader, Nelson Uduji of quick action while our letter has also been deposited with the state F.A.
“Enough is enough.We don’t have any information on the whereabouts of the transfer fees of such players as Ejike Uzoenyi, Christian Osaguona, Sunday Mba, Chikeluba Ofoedu, Pierre Coly and others.
“Supporters and board members are not carried along in the scheme of things. We are very sure that this led to the club’ ouster at the semi-final stage of Federation Cup against Lobi Stars in Katsina. It is quite pathetic and we call on the government to act quickly to save Rangers from relegation and doom,” he lamented.
