Nigeria Premier Football League heavyweights Enyimba International and Kano Pillars have reportedly identified Daniel Ogunmodede as their preferred candidate for their vacant head coach positions following his departure from Remo Stars, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Ogunmodede recently brought an end to his remarkable 13-year journey with the Ikenne-based club, where he rose through the coaching ranks and established himself as one of the most respected tacticians in Nigerian football.
The experienced coach enjoyed a historic spell at Remo Stars, culminating in the club's maiden Nigeria Premier Football League title, a landmark achievement that further enhanced his reputation as one of the country's finest coaches.
His success was built on years of consistent progress, having transformed Remo Stars into one of the most competitive teams in the domestic league through an attractive style of play and a strong emphasis on youth development.
With both Enyimba and Kano Pillars seeking new leadership on the bench ahead of the 2026/27 NPFL season, Ogunmodede has reportedly emerged as the leading candidate for both clubs.
Although neither Enyimba nor Kano Pillars has officially confirmed negotiations or announced an appointment, the former Remo Stars boss is believed to be high on the shortlist of both former league champions as they continue plans for the new campaign.
Ogunmodede's impressive record, tactical discipline, and proven ability to build competitive teams have made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the NPFL, and his next destination is expected to attract significant attention across the Nigerian football landscape.
With pre-season preparations gathering momentum, both clubs are expected to intensify their search for a new manager in the coming weeks, while Ogunmodede's future remains one of the major talking points ahead of the new NPFL season.
