Plateau United have moved swiftly to arrest their poor run in the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, as the club is set to appoint experienced coach Gbenga Ogunbote as its new Technical Adviser ahead of the second stanza of the campaign.
Ogunbote has reportedly resumed duties at the club’s training ground, immediately taking charge of preparations as the league gets set to resume, signaling Plateau United’s determination to reverse their fading fortunes.

The appointment follows a disappointing first-round showing by the former NPFL champions, who struggled for consistency and slipped into the relegation zone, prompting the club’s management to part ways with Shola Ayegun after a string of poor results.
Widely known in Nigerian football circles as “The Oracle,” Ogunbote brings a wealth of experience and tactical pedigree to Jos. He has previously handled top-flight sides including Rangers International, Sunshine Stars, Shooting Stars, and Remo Stars, earning a reputation for stabilising struggling teams and delivering results under pressure.
Club insiders believe Ogunbote’s leadership, deep understanding of the NPFL terrain, and proven ability to rebuild will be critical as Plateau United battle to preserve their top-flight status.
With the second half of the season approaching, expectations are high that Ogunbote’s arrival will inject discipline, belief, and tactical clarity into the squad, as Plateau United look to climb out of the danger zone and restore pride to the club’s campaign.
