Enyimba FC of Aba, Nigeria’s most successful club on the continent, is experiencing its worst campaign in recent history.

The team’s poor performances in both the CAF Confederation Cup and the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) have raised concerns among fans and stakeholders.

Under Coach Olarewaju Yemi’s guidance, the team has recorded only two wins, one loss, and seven draws in their last 10 NPFL games. In the CAF Confederation Cup, they have secured just one point from their last three matches, leaving them at the bottom of Group D. Zamalek tops the group with 7 points, followed by Al Masry and Black Bulls Maputo with 4 points each.

With this standing, Enyimba’s chances of qualifying for the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup appear slim.

The team’s management, led by Nwankwo Kano, must take immediate action to address the team’s woes. Fortunately, Kanu and his board have a proven track record of innovation and leadership, which has convinced fans and stakeholders that they are the right people to lead the Aba-based outfit.

Coach Yemi’s job may be at risk due to the team’s poor run of form. As one of the youngest coaches in the NPFL, he may face termination if results do not improve.

Underperforming players may also face the risk of being dropped to the reserve team as the management seeks to strengthen the squad.

The January transfer window presents an opportunity for Enyimba to address their problems and challenge for the NPFL title and improve their performance in the Confederation Cup.

Currently, Enyimba FC sits 9th on the league table with three games in hand. They will travel to Jos on Sunday to face Plateau United in one of the NPFL Matchday 18 Fixtures.

The management must act swiftly to prevent further decline and restore the team’s former glory.
