Daniel Ogunmodede breaks silence on Remo Stars exit rumours

Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede took to X on Monday to affirm his commitment to growth in Nigerian football, just hours after reports emerged of his abrupt resignation from the NPFL champions.

The 45-year-old tactician, affectionately known as “Ijaball” for his innovative coaching style, shared his excitement about entering the final phase of the prestigious CAF B License Coaching Course here in Abuja, signalling a pivot toward broader contributions to the sport.

“Excited to be part of the final phase of the CAF B License Coaching Course in Abuja,” Ogunmodede posted on his verified X handle @CoachDan_Ijabal, where he boasts over 7,600 followers.

“I’m looking forward to learning alongside esteemed instructors and fellow colleagues, sharing knowledge to develop the beautiful game in Nigeria. …together we can be better!”

The post, which has garnered hundreds of likes and supportive replies from fans and peers, comes amid a turbulent week for Ogunmodede.

Multiple sources, including Legit.ng and Premium Times Nigeria, reported on Tuesday that the Super Eagles assistant coach had stepped down from his role at Remo Stars, leaving the club perilously close to relegation in 17th place with just three games remaining in the 2025 NPFL season.
