Daniel Akpeyi has found a new chapter in his football journey after several months without a club. The 39-year-old former Super Eagles goalkeeper, who parted ways with Marumo Gallants at the end of last season, has taken up a coaching role to remain connected to the sport that has defined much of his life, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Newly promoted GDL side, Future of Africa FC, has officially announced Akpeyi as their new Goalkeeper Coach. His appointment marks a significant step for the young club as they continue to build a solid foundation in the professional ranks.
Renowned for his composure, sharp reflexes, and wealth of experience from years of top-level football across Nigeria and South Africa, Akpeyi is expected to play a key role in shaping the next generation of goalkeepers.
His presence is seen as a boost to the club’s technical structure, bringing a blend of discipline, professionalism, and mentorship to their growing development programme.
