NEWLY appointed Technical Adviser of Nigeria Professional
Football League side Remo Stars Football Club, Fatai Osho has set a CAF Champions
League target for himself after being unveiled on Monday.
Osho who is making a return to the club after he left at
the end of 2013/2014 Nigeria National League season, replaced former Flying Eagles
coach, Nduka Ugbade.
The Sky Blues Stars are bottom of the league table with
just 6 points from seven games but Osho believes the present crop of players at
his disposal are capable of bringing smiles to the faces of fans and management
and have what it takes to defeat Lobi Stars come Sunday.
“It's quite
emotional for me I was going through the streets of Ikenne yesterday, I was
looking at the buildings and it's been a while I saw all these and it's really
emotional coming back and that can only spur me to do better,” said the former
Crown FC handler.
“Have been here once it's not a new terrain to me, one
way or the other, I have played one or two roles in bringing the club to where
it is now and we want to be a club that would be playing in the CAF Champions
League and that's the target.
“When you start the league and you have played 5-8
matches, the margin between the league leaders and the last team is not a gap
that cannot be redeemed. We are in a position that within two to four
victories, we get into the first five, then stabilize and start looking at the
continental ticket. I believe we can still do that and that’s what I tried to
make the lads understand this morning and we believe we can do that.
“Before now I have been monitoring, I have watched them
play here during my leisure time and I believe they can do it. All we need to
do is to create a new mentality for them and if we don't defeat ourselves it
will be difficult for anybody to defeat us,” Osho said.
