Rangers Extend Fidelis Illechukwu's Contract Until 2027

Rangers International FC has confirmed the extension of head coach Fidelis Illechukwu's contract for an additional four years, keeping him with the club until 2027. This decision follows a successful campaign where Illechukwu guided the team to their ninth Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) title, culminating in a decisive 2-1 victory over Ikorodu City at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.

The contract extension solidifies Illechukwu's position as a prominent figure in Nigerian domestic football, having previously managed teams like MFM FC and Plateau United. At 47 years old, he has overseen two NPFL title triumphs and is now focused on transforming Rangers into a consistent force in Nigerian football.

Looking ahead, Illechukwu will also prepare the team for the CAF Champions League, where Rangers will represent Nigeria in the 2024-25 season after eliminating Angola's Sagrada Esperança with a 3-1 aggregate score. Additionally, he serves as an assistant coach within the Super Eagles technical crew.
