Without delay, Rangers’ management placed full responsibility on his shoulders. The appointment followed his previous role as assistant captain before departing for Rwanda.

Additionally, his familiarity with league dynamics enables him to respond to pressure. He brings maturity drawn from experience in and outside Nigeria.
More so, this transition builds on a foundation of prior victories. Notably, Nwobodo’s return continues the club’s philosophy of strong internal grooming.
