NPFL: Kennedy Boboye takes charge at Heartland

Kennedy Boboye has been appointed new head coach of Nigeria Premier Football League outfit Heartland.

Boboye’s appointment was announced on the club’s official X handle on Wednesday.

“We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with two-time NPFL winning coach Kennedy Boboye,” reads a statement on the club’s X handle.

“He takes charge of the club’s technical team with immediate effect on a 1-year deal with an option of a renewal.”

Former handler of the side Christian Obi was sacked following the team’s poor start to the 2023/24 season.

Heartland are yet to record a win this season after nine outings.

The Owerri club sit in 20th position on the log with six points.

Boboye won the NPFL title with Plateau United in 2017.

The 49-year-old repeated the feat with Akwa United in the 2020/21 season.
