Former Nigerian U20 national team handler Paul Aigbogun, has been appointed as the Head Coach of a football club in Denmark.
The club known as Jammerbugt FC features in the Danish second division outfit.
Heritage Times HT reports that the UEFA Licensed gaffer is taking over from departed Nabil Trabelsi.
Last season, Jammerbugt FC suffered relegation and it became inevitable to end association with Trabelsi.
“Paul Aigbogun will take over from Nabil Trabelsis at Jammerbugt FC.”
“He is good. When the players are so young and come with such big differences because they have such different backgrounds, it is important to have someone like him,” Flemming Dahl Jensen, head of security for DBU, said.
While still playing, Aigbogun signed for American third division club Northern Nevada Aces, before spending the rest of his career in the United States with lower league sides Nevada Wonders and San Francisco Seals.
After retiring, he had two spells as head coach of Warri Wolves in the Nigerian top flight.
In 2016, he was appointed Head Coach of Enyimba International, the most successful Nigerian team. From there, Aigbogun was appointed Head Coach of the Nigeria under-20 national team.
Meanwhile, former c6oach of Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan, Edith Agoye, has refused to extend his contract with the club.
The former 3SC attacker, Agoye tendered his resignation after meeting with the State Governor, Eng Seyi Makinde and the club management on Tuesday.
Agoye led the Oluyole Warriors to the country’s elite league, Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after many years in the Second tier League
