Ogunmodede’s enthusiasm and passion for the game are evident in his comments about being surprised by the NFF’s decision. This humility, coupled with his determination to prove himself, is precisely the mindset needed in the national team. As supporters, we are optimistic that his experience and innovative approach will add value to the Super Eagles as they prepare for the AFCON qualifiers.
It’s also worth noting how Remo Stars, a relatively young club in Nigerian football, has produced such coaching talent. Ogunmodede’s rise emphasizes the need for continued investment in local clubs, as they are proving to be fertile ground for future stars of the game. With his commitment and the backing of a well structured club, Ogunmodede is ready to make his mark on the national stage.
