The Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has approved the appointment of a new head coach for Enyimba International Football Club, Aba.
According to the state Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu, in a statement issued on Monday, the new head coach is Coach Deutsch Detchoua Gustave Emmanuel.
Enyimba International Football Club remains Nigeria’s most decorated football club and one of Abia State’s most prominent sporting brands across Africa.
As a two-time CAF Champions League winner and multiple-time domestic league champion, Enyimba has historically projected Abia State on the continental football stage and inspired generations of footballers and supporters.
However, in recent times, the club has experienced a decline from its traditional standards of excellence.
Prince Kanu, in the statement, said “the administration of Governor Alex Otti is determined to restore Enyimba’s pride of place as a dominant force in Nigerian and African football, while also repositioning the club for professionalism, sustainability, and strong corporate governance.”
He said the appointment of Coach Deutsch Detchoua Gustave Emmanuel “is part of the strategic efforts to reinvigorate the technical direction of the club, strengthen its competitive edge, and lay a solid foundation for long-term success.”
According to the statement, Coach Deutsch Detchoua Gustave Emmanuel is a highly experienced football tactician with CAF A, B and C coaching licences, who has worked as technical adviser and head coach with reputable clubs in Nigeria and Cameroon, “delivering impressive results.”
“His track record includes several recognitions, notably the Nigeria National League (NNL) Best Coach Award in 2025,” the statement added.
“Governor Otti expresses confidence that the wealth of experience, technical competence, and professional discipline of Coach Deutsch Detchoua Gustave Emmanuel will contribute significantly to the rebuilding process of Enyimba International Football Club and return the club to its rightful position as a powerhouse in Nigerian and African football,” the statement further said.
