Heartland Still Title Contender, Says Head Coach, Obi

In spite of the club’s unimpressive start to the 2023/24 Nigeria Premier Football League season in which newly promoted Heartland of Owerri have only managed one point in two matches, Head Coach of the side, Christian Obi is optimistic his side can challenge for the title this season.

The Naze Millionaires opened their 2023/24 campaign with a home draw against Lobi Stars, followed by last week away loss to Plateau United in Jos.

Obi boasted that with the calibre of players at his disposal, they have all it takes to contest against any opponent in the league.

He also stated that Heartland have big ambition in the new season.

“We have got a team full of winners with hunger to succeed,” he told an online daily.

“We have players that are ready to fight for the NPFL title, they just need to believe in the process and their ambition.”
