It was an overwhelming victory for coach of Rangers International, Imama Amapakabo, after he was voted as the SupportTheNPFL Manager of the Season. The coach pooled 84 percent of votes ahead of Wikki Tourists coach, Abdu Maikaba, in second position with paltry seven percent votes. Other coaches voted for in the first ever award by the online site are IfeanyiUbah coach, Rafael Everton (five percent) and Stanley Eguma of Rivers United (three percent).
In the Player of the Season category, Rangers’ Chisom Egbuchulam, won with 48 percent votes while top scorer, Godwin Obaje, of Wikki Tourists finished second with 36 percent votes. IfeanyiUbah Ismaila Gata polled 15 percent votes while Rivers United skipper, Festus Austin, finished last with one vote.
The award organiser, Akinlolu Alonge, said it was a way of encouraging the players and managers who are the main actors of the game. “We are delighted to honour the stars and managers in the NPFL, it is a platform to encourage them so that they can do better next season,” Alonge said.
“We decided to make the voting open to people who have been following the league and the response was overwhelming. It shows that people have started following the league. “The winners will receive their awards in Enugu on Sunday when Rangers host El-Kanemi Warriors.”
He further revealed that the first edition was sponsored by Yarmalight FC proprietor, Farouk Yarma, while also calling on other sponsors to partner with them ahead of next season.
