The management of Osun United, a Nigeria National League side, has been dissolved by the state government. The decision, announced yesterday in Osogbo, follows the team’s failure to achieve promotion to the elite division.
Appointed last season to stabilize the team and secure promotion, the management, led by Akin Maxwell, was unable to meet these objectives.

Osun United finished third in their group with 30 points from 20 matches and did not qualify for the playoffs, falling short of the expectations set by the state government.
The announcement of the dissolution did not provide specific reasons for the decision. However, the team’s inability to secure promotion likely played a significant role.
The state government had high hopes for the management team, aiming to see Osun United compete at higher levels of Nigerian football.
Despite their efforts, the Maxwell-led management struggled to deliver the desired results, leading to their eventual dissolution. This move signals a new chapter for Osun United as they seek new leadership to guide the team towards future success.
The state government is expected to appoint a new management team soon, with the hope that fresh leadership can revive the team’s fortunes and achieve the long-sought promotion to the elite division.
Fans and stakeholders will be watching closely to see how these changes impact the club’s performance in the upcoming season.
