Mighty Jets Suspend Technical Adviser Ere Dokubo After Poor Run of Form

Nigeria National League (NNL) side Mighty Jets have suspended their technical adviser, Ere Dokubo, following a series of disappointing results.

The decision comes on the heels of a 1-1 home draw against Kada Warriors FC last Saturday — a result that appears to have tested the patience of the club’s management and supporters.

In a statement signed by the club’s management, the suspension was described as a necessary step to address ongoing performance issues and restore competitiveness within the squad. With Mighty Jets currently sitting at the bottom of the NNL Conference C table with 10 points from 10 matches, urgency has clearly set in.

Assistant coach Festus Ukpebo Ehiohiren has been handed the responsibility of leading the team for the remainder of the season. His first assignment will be a crucial fixture against City FC, a match that could define the club’s direction in the coming weeks.

Opinion: A Risky but Necessary Gamble?

Mid-season managerial changes are always a gamble. While suspending a technical adviser can signal decisive leadership, it also introduces uncertainty at a delicate stage of the campaign.

For Mighty Jets, the numbers paint a worrying picture — bottom of the table after 10 games is not where a club with ambition wants to be. The management’s move suggests a desire to spark fresh energy and tactical direction. Sometimes, a new voice in the dressing room can reignite belief and sharpen focus.

However, it is equally important to remember that football is rarely about one individual alone. Player performance, morale, injuries, and structural planning all play a role in results. The responsibility now shifts not just to Ehiohiren, but to the entire squad to prove they are capable of climbing out of their current position.

Fans will be hoping this decision marks a turning point rather than a temporary fix. The upcoming clash against City FC could provide early signs of whether this bold step will pay off.

For Mighty Jets, the season is far from over — but the time to respond is now.
