Kano Pillars Unveil Daniel Ogunmodede As New Technical Adviser
Kano Pillars have officially unveiled Daniel Ogunmodede as the club’s new technical adviser ahead of the 2026-2027 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
NEWSNGR reports that Daniel Ogunmodede, 46, was presented at the club’s secretariat earlier today, July 11, by chairman Ahmad Musbahu Garo, days after his appointment was confirmed.
Ogunmodede replaces Mohammed Babaganaru, who steered the Sai Masu Gida away from relegation trouble last season.
Announcing the unveiling on 𝕏, Kano Pillars expressed confidence in their new manager’s ability to lead the club to greater success.
“We are delighted to officially unveil Mr Daniel Ogunmodede (Ijaball) as our new Technical Adviser at the club’s secretariat in the presence of our Chairman, Alhaji Ahmad Musbahu Garo,” the club wrote.
“A proven tactician with a winning mentality, Ogunmodede now takes charge of the Sai Masu Gida as we embark on an exciting journey towards success in the 2026/2027 season.
“Welcome to the home of football. Welcome to the family.”
The four-time NPFL champions have already begun preparations for the new campaign, with pre-season activities getting underway on Monday.
Following his move to Kano Pillars, Ogunmodede also bid an emotional farewell to Remo Stars, where he enjoyed one of the most successful spells of his coaching career.
“What started as an opportunity became a family, a purpose, and one of the defining chapters of my life,” Ogunmodede wrote.
“Together, we built, we believed, we struggled, we learned, and ultimately, we made history.
“That moment will forever remain one of the proudest memories of my career, not because of the trophy alone, but because of everything it represented.
“It was the reward for years of sacrifice, resilience, faith, and hard work.
“As I leave, I do so with a heart full of gratitude and without regret. I leave knowing I gave everything I had every single day in service of this badge and this project.
“May the club continue to grow from strength to strength, produce more champions, inspire future generations, and achieve even greater heights in Nigeria, Africa, and beyond.”
