Kano Pillars have confirmed the appointment of highly rated Nigerian coach Daniel Ogunmodede as the club’s new Technical Adviser, marking the beginning of a significant new era for the Nigeria Premier Football League giants.
The appointment was officially announced on Friday through a statement released by the club’s Media Director, Isma’eel Abba Tangalashi, ending speculation over who would take charge ahead of the new season.
Ogunmodede arrives in Kano with a growing reputation as one of the brightest coaching minds in Nigerian football after an outstanding spell with Remo Stars, where he transformed the Ikenne-based club into one of the country’s most consistent and formidable teams.
His departure closes a historic chapter at Remo Stars. During his tenure, the club achieved its greatest milestone by winning its first-ever Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) title, a feat that firmly established Ogunmodede among the league’s elite coaches.
Beyond domestic success, he also guided the Sky Blue Stars to the CAF Champions League, earning the club the opportunity to compete on Africa’s biggest club stage and further enhancing their growing reputation.
Known for his tactical discipline, attacking philosophy and commitment to developing young players, Ogunmodede has been widely praised for building a competitive squad capable of challenging the country’s traditional football powerhouses.
His appointment represents a major statement of intent from Kano Pillars, a club with one of the richest histories in Nigerian football and ambitions of returning to the summit of the NPFL.
The experienced tactician now faces the challenge of restoring the Sai Masu Gida to title contention while meeting the high expectations of the club’s passionate supporters.
With preparations for the new campaign already underway, attention will quickly shift to how Ogunmodede shapes his squad and implements the football philosophy that brought unprecedented success to Remo Stars.
For Kano Pillars, the arrival of a proven title-winning coach signals renewed ambition. For Ogunmodede, it offers the opportunity to build another success story at one of Nigerian football’s most iconic clubs.
