Bendel Insurance Appoints Kennedy Boboye as New Technical Manager

Bendel Insurance Football Club has officially named Kennedy Boboye as its new Technical Manager. The Benin-based club made this major announcement on Monday, just one week after suspending its former head coach.

This strategic appointment signals a fresh direction for the Benin Arsenals as they seek to improve their NPFL standing.

A New Era for Benin Arsenals

Club management reached a mutual agreement with Boboye for him to assume full control of the technical department immediately. According to a statement from Director of Media & Communications Kehinde Osagiede, the decision followed extensive evaluation.

As detailed in the complete version, there are several key factors to consider.

Management found Boboye’s proven track record and NPFL experience compelling reasons for his selection. They awarded the Delta-born tactician a substantive two-year contract based on his impressive credentials.

The club has finalized arrangements for Boboye’s official unveiling in Benin City on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. This appointment represents a significant step for Bendel Insurance as they navigate the current season.

Management Expectations and Transition

Bendel Insurance management expressed strong optimism about Boboye’s impact. They believe his leadership will usher in improved performance and renewed team confidence during this critical campaign period.

The Executive Chairman of Edo State Sports Commission, Hon. Amadin Desmond Enabulele, acknowledged the contribution of interim manager Baldwin Bazuaye. The former Super Eagles player had stepped in after Coach Greg Ikhenoba’s suspension on October 6, 2025.

Background to the Coaching Change

The coaching reshuffle came after Bendel Insurance suffered a disappointing home defeat to Nasarawa United. The lone-goal loss prompted immediate action from club management, leading to the previous coach’s suspension.

Boboye now faces the task of revitalizing the squad and improving their NPFL position. His extensive experience in Nigerian football makes him ideally suited for this challenge at Bendel Insurance.

Fans eagerly await Boboye’s official presentation and his plans for moving Bendel Insurance forward. The club hopes this decision will mark a turning point in their season performance and overall NPFL campaign.
