The management of Bendel Insurance Football Club on Monday announced the appointment of Kennedy Boboye as the Technical Manager of the team.

This comes exactly one week after the suspension of its coach, Greg Ikhenoba.

A statement by the team’s Director of Media and Communications, Kehinde Osagiede, said the appointment followed a mutual agreement between the management of the Benin Arsenals, adding that Boboye was to assume full responsibility for the club’s technical department with immediate effect.

“After a thorough evaluation, the management found Coach Boboye suitable for the role and has offered him a substantive two-year contract. The decision is based on his proven track record, impressive credentials, and extensive experience in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

“Arrangements have been concluded for the official unveiling of the Delta-born tactician in Benin City on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

“The management of Bendel Insurance FC is optimistic that Coach Boboye’s appointment will usher in a new phase of improved performance and renewed confidence in the ongoing season.

“Meanwhile, the Executive Chairman of the Edo State Sports Commission (ESSC), Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele, has expressed appreciation to Coach Baldwin Bazuaye (MON), an Executive Director in the Commission, who stepped in as Interim Technical Manager following the suspension of

Head Coach Greg Ikhenoba on Monday, October 6, 2025.”

Recall that the ESSC last Monday suspended Coach Ikhenoba and appointed former Super Eagles player, Baldwin Bazuaye, to take over on an interim basis.

The suspension followed Bendel Insurance losing their home game last Saturday by a lone goal to Nasarawa United.
