NPFL: Ejeh steps down as Enyimba assistant coach

Kelvin Okechukwu Ejeh has resigned from his position as assistant coach of nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Enyimba, DAILY POST reports. Ejeh tendered his resignation letter to the management of the club on Saturday. The former Abia Comets handler cited irreconcilable differences with head coach Emmanuel Deutsch as the reason for his decision. The experienced gaffer said it was difficult for him to function in a toxic environment. “Enyimba is a club after my heart. It’s a club so dear to me, but you see, I don’t function effectively well under a toxic environment,” Ejeh told Completesports.com. “When your boss begins to listen to gossip without recourse to hearing from you, then it becomes clear that trust is gone and the working relationship has been severed. So, I had to leave.” Enyimba have endured a poor start to the 2026/27 season, recording just one win from six games. The Aba giants will host Plateau United in a matchday seven encounter at the Enyimba International Stadium on Sunday. NPFL: Ejeh steps down as Enyimba assistant coach
