Organisers of the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super Eight holding at the Enyimba International Stadium have slammed a fine of N100,000 fine on Bendel Insurance head coach Monday Odigie for improper dressing.
The former National U17 Golden Eaglets head coach was found to have breached relevant sections of the second tier league’s rule books during their match day one clash against Delta Force by dressing in an unsavoury manner for which he received verbal caution from the match Commissioner.
The Benin Arsenals as Insurance are called won the game in a clinical manner 3-0 to raise hope of a return to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) after 11 years.
Monday who first assisted Samson Siasia in 2005 at the National U20 and later at U23 Olympic Eagles squad in 2015 during the All Africa Games in Congo Brazzaville repeated same during their match day two win against Remo Stars and was cautioned by the match commissioner for defying earlier warming which forced the organisers to wield the big stick.
According to the NNL, Odigie failed to dress properly while on the dug out during the game, forcing the fourth official to call him to order and later drew the attention of the referee before the coach put on a white vest to cover his yellow sleeveless attire.
