NPFL Title Race Open as Rangers Coach Ilechukwu Speaks
Fide Ilechukwu, the coach of Rangers International FC, emphasized that the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) title race is still wide open with five matches remaining in the season. This statement follows a goalless draw against Barau FC at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium.
Ilechukwu countered the notion that any team is a favorite for the title after observing River United FC's 2-0 defeat to Warri Wolves FC in Ozoro. With the results leaving Rangers narrowly ahead in a tightly contested campaign, Ilechukwu noted that the momentum has shifted repeatedly in recent weeks.
He highlighted the importance of consistency in the final stretch of the season as Rangers aim to secure their tenth league crown. The team is preparing for a challenging away fixture against Niger Tornadoes FC, which could further influence the title race.
Meanwhile, River United is regrouping to host Plateau United FC on Sunday, April 12.
