Rangers International head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu says the club’s internal collaboration is the key factor that propelled them to the 2023/24 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title on Sunday, June 16.
Kenechukwu Agu and Chidiebere Nwobodo were the goalscorers, as Rangers defeated Bendel Insurance 2-0 at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu to seal their eighth NPFL title with a game to spare. The triumph also ended the club’s eight-year league drought following their last victory in 2016.
The victory, according to Ilechukwu, is a culmination of good management, top-notch players’ welfarism and a sound technical crew.
‘’I know we are going to become the champions because from the beginning the management set-up is very important,” the 45-year-old told the club’s media.
“When you have good management, with the welfare of the players as the biggest priority, you can’t expect less.
“The motivational part of football is very perfect from Rangers, the technical crew is sound, and everything works together.”
The NPFL title has been a long time coming for Ilechukwu, having masterminded second-place finishes for MFM FC and Plateau United in 2017 and 2022.
He’ll be eyeing a winning end to his campaign when he leads the Flying Antelopes to their last game of the season against Gombe United this weekend.
