Kelvin Okechukwu Ejeh has resigned as assistant coach of nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) champions Enyimba.
Ejeh submitted his resignation letter to the club’s management on Saturday, citing irreconcilable differences with head coach Emmanuel Deutsch.
The former Abia Comets handler said he found it difficult to function effectively in what he described as a “toxic environment”.
“Enyimba is a club after my heart. It’s a club so dear to me, but you see, I don’t function effectively well under a toxic environment,” Ejeh told Completesports.

“When your boss begins to listen to gossip without recourse to hearing from you, then it becomes clear that trust is gone and the working relationship has been severed. So, I had to leave.”
Ejeh’s resignation comes after Enyimba made a poor start to the 2026/27 NPFL season.
The Aba-based club have recorded just one win from their opening six matches.
Enyimba are scheduled to host Plateau United at the Enyimba International Stadium on Sunday in a matchday seven fixture.
