“I am truly grateful for the privilege to have worked with this great team for almost seven years,” said Itodo Enema Daniel, announcing his departure as Chief Coach of Sporting Supreme FC.
Itodo’s tenure at the club was marked by significant achievements, including nurturing over 30 players who have gone on to play professionally across Europe. Under his leadership, Sporting Supreme FC won both the Dana Cup and Gothia Cup in 2025, showcasing the team’s growing prowess on the international stage.
In 2024, the club came close to securing promotion to the Nigerian Premier Football League, a testament to Itodo’s effective coaching strategies and player development initiatives. His departure comes as a surprise to many, given the success he has brought to the team.
“I wish the club the very best in their search for a new gaffer and continued progress in the future,” Itodo added, indicating his hopes for the team’s future endeavors.
Meanwhile, Sporting CP recently made headlines by overturning a three-goal deficit to progress in the Champions League knockout rounds, winning 5-0 against Bodo/Glimt in the second leg.
In related news, Dániel Sallói has extended his contract with Toronto FC through the 2027 MLS season. Jason Hernandez, the club’s representative, stated, “We are happy to formally announce the extension of Dániel at this time.”
Hernandez further noted that this step has allowed Sallói to focus solely on integrating with the team and performing his best during the beginning of the 2026 season.
As Sporting Supreme FC looks to the future, the impact of Itodo’s coaching will undoubtedly be felt for years to come, as the club seeks to build on the foundation he has laid.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential candidates to replace Itodo, but the club’s management is expected to act swiftly in finding a suitable successor.
