Enyimba International FC has issued head coach Stanley Eguma a two-match ultimatum to revive the team’s form after a string of disappointing results in the ongoing 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, Nigeriasoccernet.com can report.
The decision was taken by the club’s management on Monday following a comprehensive review of recent performances, including Sunday’s 2–1 defeat to Plateau United in Jos — Enyimba’s third consecutive loss after earlier setbacks against Warri Wolves in Aba and Kun Khalifat FC in Owerri.
This poor run has seen the nine-time NPFL champions drop to ninth position on the table, with three wins, four draws, and three losses from ten matches.
As a result, Eguma and his technical team have been directed to deliver positive results in the next two fixtures, a crucial home clash against Kano Pillars in Aba this weekend and a tricky away encounter against Abia Warriors in Umuahia next week, or risk losing their positions.
In an official statement released by the club, Enyimba reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high standards of performance and accountability.
“Enyimba FC is a club with a proud winning tradition and a strong expectation of excellence,” the statement read. “While we appreciate the efforts of the technical crew, the current results fall short of our ambitions. The management expects an immediate improvement starting with Sunday’s home game against Kano Pillars.”
The statement further assured fans and stakeholders that the club is taking all necessary measures to ensure a quick turnaround in fortunes as the season progresses.
Enyimba, regarded as one of Nigeria’s most successful football clubs, will be hoping to avoid further setbacks as pressure mounts on Eguma to prove he is the right man to steer the Aba-based giants back to winning ways.
