The Coach of MFM FC Fidelis Ilechukwu has revealed that he’s not expecting the Club to win title soon because of the Club’s philosophy to breed young players and promote them into the main team.
Ilechukwu has had a torrid time holding on to his best players after watching the likes of Stephen Odey, Chuckwuka Onuwa, Peter Ubakanma, Sikiru Olatunbosun, Ospino Egbe, Ifeayin Ifeayin and others joining rivals or moving outside the shore of the country.
“As a coach, you can’t lose a lot of players each season. We struggle a lot without quality players and it’s painful.”
“In a team, if you have about four new young players, it’s not bad. But when over eighty percent of the team are young players, the NPFL is tough.
“I have been in it for 14 years and I am coming close to the end. I want to win titles but with the structure at MFM, it will be difficult.”
MFM are third on the log of Nigeria Professional Football League Group B with 24 points from 16 games.
