Enugu Rangers
Nigeria Premier League side, Enugu Rangers may have made history by becoming the first club in Africa to sack a manager while the game is on.
Benedict Ugwu was in the dugout for Enugu Rangers game against Akwa starlets in a league game when the PA walked up to him and fired him after Enugu Rangers conceded the opening goal at home. The game ended 0-2 in favor of Akwa Starlet.
Reacting to the news on Africa Sport on, a football Show on Super Sport, Moses Praiz said:
"It’s quite embarrassing, they should have waited till the end of the game before sacking the coach and not the PA walking up to the coach and telling him you are fired while the game is going on"
