Fans of Sporting Lagos were shocked by the news of the sacking of the club’s head coach Paul Offor. Many believe that there is no rationale for the sack and the timing is wrong.
The club announced the departure of Paul Offor on their website.
“On behalf of everyone at Sporting Lagos, the Club would like to express its gratitude to Coach Paul for his efforts and achievements during his time with the Club.
Coach Paul will forever have a place in Sporting Lagos history after leading us to our first-ever NPFL promotion and winning our first-ever piece of silverware — the Naija Super 8 Competition. The Club and fans alike will miss the energy and polish he brought to the touchline.
Thank you Coach Paul
After reviewing our performance so far this season, the Club believes it is the right time to make a change.
Coach Paul will leave with his assistant coaches, Coach Micah Bello and Coach Edward Green. We are grateful for their time at Sporting Lagos.
The team will focus on remaining in the top flight with the final eight (8) matches of our inaugural season.”
