The veteran’s new deal includes the option of another after he led the side in winning the 2018 Federation Cup title

Coach Gbenga Ogunbote has been handed a year contract extension by the club’s management.

The former Enyimba handler led the Flying Antelopes to win the Federation Cup despite his side trailing 3-0 in Asaba.

Pleased with the heroics against arch-rivals, Kano Pillars, his stay in Enugu has been extended by another season.

“Rangers Management Corporation, owners of Rangers International F.C, have extended the contract of Aiteo Cup winning coach, Olugbenga Ogunbote for another season,” the club tweeted.

With this, Ogunbote will lead the Nnamdi Azikwe Stadium giants to the 2019 Confederation Cup.

Enugu Rangers bowed 5-2 on aggregate to ZESCO United in the play-off round of the 2017 Caf Confederation Cup.
