Yemi Olanrewaju has said he understands the pressure of managing a top club like Enyimba, but he’s determined to make his stay at the club a success.
Olanrewaju was confirmed as the substantive head coach of the Aba giants on Tuesday.
The former Golden Eaglets assistant coach signed a one-year contract with the two-time African champions.
The 32-year-old declared he is looking forward to a successful stay at the club.
“As the head coach of Enyimba, I know the pressure and what it means to lead the team. This is not my first year but my third year at the club. I understand what the fans want. Coaching Enyimba is a high-pressure job,” he said at his unveiling ceremony.
Enyimba is currently rebuilding their squad following the departure of seven players at the end of last season.
Olanrewaju acknowledged the task ahead but said the new signings have the quality to take the club to greater height.
“We have good players and made some excellent signings. We are focused on integrating them quickly and efficiently. Nobody will listen to excuses; they only want results, and they want them as soon as possible,” he added.
Olanrewaju’s objectives for the upcoming season include securing a top position in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and advancing to the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup.
“In the continental competition, our first goal is to reach the group stages. For the league, settling for second position is not acceptable. We are aiming for the top spot and will fight for it,” he declared.
