Rangers Football Club has made significant changes to their squad in anticipation of the upcoming 2023-24 Nigeria Premier League season.
The decision to release eight players was made based on the recommendations put forth by the Fidelis Ilechukwu-led technical team.
The released players include Chidera Ezeh, Jacob John, Innocent Gabriel, and Emmanuel Charles. Additionally, Reuben Bala, Adam Musa, Rabiu Musa, and Onyekachi Okoro have also been let go by the club. These players will now seek new opportunities elsewhere in their football careers.
Meanwhile, the remaining players who have been retained are expected to report back to the club’s training camp over the weekend to commence pre-season preparations.
This training period will be crucial for the players to sharpen their skills and build team cohesion ahead of the new season.
Last season proved to be a challenging one for the Flying Antelopes as they narrowly avoided relegation.
Now, with the new campaign on the horizon, the club’s management has taken proactive steps to strengthen the squad and improve their chances of success.
The decision to release certain players is part of a strategic plan to revitalize the team and bring in fresh talent that aligns with the club’s objectives.
It is worth noting that Rangers’ journey last season included a hard-fought battle in the final of the Federation Cup, where they unfortunately fell short against Bendel Insurance. Despite the disappointment, the team displayed resilience and determination, proving their potential to compete at the highest level.
As the new season approaches, fans and supporters eagerly await the arrival of the retained players in training camp. With the club’s rich history and dedicated fan base, there is optimism that Rangers will bounce back strongly and contend for honors in the Nigeria Premier League.
The management’s decisions reflect their commitment to fostering a competitive and successful team, and fans eagerly anticipate the forthcoming season with renewed hope and enthusiasm.
