Ilechukwu unveils as Heartland coach

Fidelis Ilechukwu has been unveiled as coach of Nigeria Professional Football League club side, Heartland FC of Owerri.

It would be recalled that coach Fidelis Ilechuckwu ended his 13-year romance with the MFM FC of Lagos and pitched tents with Heartland FC of Owerri.

But his long spell at the Lagos club ended last week after Heartland announced his signing.

Speaking after the presentation, Ilechukwu assured Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha of his total commitment to the club and move the club to greater height.

“They gave me a platform to flourish in my career and it is a place I will never forget, but it is time to move on”.

“As I said, Heartland is a new challenge and I hope and pray fortune smiles on me in my new job.” He added.
