Kano Pillars have appointed Daniel Ogunmodede as their new Technical Adviser on two-year-contract ahead of the 2026/2027 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The four-time NPFL champions confirmed the appointment on their official X account on Friday, announcing that an agreement had been reached with the highly-rated tactician.
“We’ve reached an agreement to appoint Daniel Ogunmodede (Ijaball) as our new Technical Adviser ahead of the 2026/2027 football season.
“Welcome to Kano and the Sai Masu Gida family.
We’re happy to have you with us!”
Ogunmodede was recently spotted wearing a Kano Pillars jersey, fueling speculation about his move to the former NPFL champions.
The coach guided Remo Stars to their historic NPFL title in the 2024/25 season before leaving the Ikenne-based club prior to the conclusion of the 2025/26 campaign.
He also serves as a member of the Super Eagles’ technical crew and a Nigeria’s coaching staff at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
