Fc One Rocket, a team in the Nigerian National League, has declared that it will be firing head coach Emmanuel King and assistant coach Edu Udousoro effective immediately.
The club praised Coach Emmanuel King and his helper for their service to the team and wished them well in their future undertakings in a letter issued today, May 30, 2022, and signed by Mr. Moses Ukpong, the club secretary.
In 2020, Coach Emmanuel King was initially named Fc One Rocket’s head coach and technical adviser.
Coach Emu, as he is affectionately known, was replaced in January 2021 by Coach Ndubuisi Ndah, who was promoted to Technical Director.
The club fired Coach Ndubuisi Ndah prior to the start of the current 2021–2022 NNL season, and Coach Emmanuel King was reinstated as the team’s head coach.
The CAF’s relief decision Due to the indomitable boys’ poor performances this season, which have left them just one point above the relegation zone, a licensed coach has been hired.
With Rovers Fc of Calabar leading the table by eight points, the Rockets, who are owned by Rt (Hon) Nse Essien, have made the decision to change their management in the hopes of a quick turnaround and rekindled desire to be promoted to the NPFL.
The letter that terminated the appointment and expressed gratitude for the service was read in full.
