Sporting Lagos FC has officially announced the departure of Paul Offor from his role as the club’s Head Coach.

In an official statement, the club expressed its gratitude to Offor for his contributions during his tenure.

Under his leadership, Sporting Lagos gained their first-ever promotion to the NPFL.

Acknowledging the need for change following a review of the team’s performance this season, the club has decided to part ways with Offor, along with his assistant coaches, Micah Bello and Edward Green.

Sporting Lagos extended its gratitude to the departing coaching staff for their dedication and service.

The club statement read; “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, Micah Bello and 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.”

As the club strives to secure its position in the top flight with eight remaining matches in its inaugural NPFL season, Sporting Lagos has welcomed Abdullahi Biffo to the fold.

The former Kwara United boss brings a wealth of experience and is expected to inject new energy and tactics to aid the team in their bid to remain in the top division.
