News emanating from Imo State suggests that the new management of Heartland FC have resolved to snatch up MFM FC gaffer Fidelis Ilechukwu.
Heartland FC became the latest suitor of 'the working one' as he's fondly called after Akwa Utd and Sunshine Stars FC have left his trail for undisclosed reasons. Ilechukwu suddenly became the sudden rhythm in coal city, our source confirmed that Enugu Rangers are on his radar as well but it remains unclear weather Rangers would be ready to secure his service.
Fidelis has toiled for good thirteen (13) years transforming 'the Church Boys' to a modest side in Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), from their non league status with well balanced structure laced with functional footballing philosophy.
The new management board of Heartland FC, as appointed by Governor Emeka Ihedioha CON, are more determined to work with Ilechukwu whose quest for new challenge has written all over his face. It is believed that, Sunshine FC gaffer Kabiru Dogo has also been linked with a switch to Owerri based club side.
The newly appointed General Manager,
Chief Chukwudi Ifeanyi and Chairman of the Club, Barr. Charles Ezekwem are working round the clock to get the club re-branded and Ilechukwu is their top priority. The top hierarchy in the club have resolved to sort things out with the commissioner for sports in the state in the coming days.
The longest serving gaffer in the history of the club has transformed the minnows into super stars in the time past. Steven Odey who is the latest recruits in Genk, Belgium, Chukwuka Onuwa of Enyimba FC, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Erhun Obanor and Sikiru Olatunbosun whose long range screamer against Rangers Int'l was voted 'CNN goal of the week' during his days in MFM FC were brought to limelight by coach Fidelis Ilechukwu.
Ilechukwu's four years in NPFL has seen him tasted a continental football. His philosophical drive and experience coupled with his technical prowess remain his selling point.
