As the new season of the Nigeria Professional Football League (#NPFL25) approaches, Remo Stars Football Club is set to kick off under the guidance of a familiar face. Sulaiman Kamil Folarin, the team’s first assistant coach, will temporarily take charge of the squad.
This shift comes as head coach Daniel Ogunmodede has been appointed as the assistant coach for the Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team, for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Benin Republic on September 7 and Rwanda on September 10.

Daniel Ogunmodede, who has been instrumental in Remo Stars’ recent successes, including their qualification for the CAF Champions League, is widely recognized for his tactical acumen.
His promotion to assist at the national level underscores his rising profile in Nigerian football. Ogunmodede’s ability to turn Remo Stars into a competitive force in the NPFL earned him the NPFL Manager of the Month award earlier this year.
With Ogunmodede’s temporary departure, Sulaiman Folarin, who has been an integral part of Remo Stars’ coaching setup since his appointment, will lead the team as they embark on the new season.
Folarin, known for his strong connection with the players and understanding of the game, is expected to maintain the club’s momentum.
The dual responsibilities for Ogunmodede reflect the trust placed in him by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) as they prepare for crucial AFCON qualifiers under the guidance of newly appointed Super Eagles head coach, Bruno Labbadia.
As Ogunmodede steps onto the national stage, Folarin’s leadership at Remo Stars will be pivotal in ensuring the team continues to perform at a high level.
This temporary change in leadership highlights the depth of coaching talent at Remo Stars and the growing recognition of their strategic importance in Nigerian football.
