Ngodingha, Elechi to lead Go Round FC

Former Super Eagles first choice keeper and Bayelsa United coach, David Ngodingha will be in the dug-out for Go Round FC as they start their campaign in the Nigeria National League on Friday.

Ngodingha is however not head of the coaching crew as he is there as coaching consultant or Technical Adviser.

Former Dolphins and Lobi Stars attacker, Ngozi Elechi will continue as head coach of the side for the 3rd consecutive season.

Team Manager of the club, Soni Uboh says they are confident in the ability of the coaches.

“David Ngodingha remains the technical adviser. Remember he was part of the team that went to the UK and we believe what he learned there will be of immense value to the club.

“We also have Ngozi Elechi who is an excellent coach and match reader and was part of a recent FIFA coaching course. We have confidence in our coaches,” Uboh said.
