Odigie wins LBA-NPFL February Coach of the Month
After an impressive month that saw Bendel Insurance maintain their position, and increase the points gap at the top of Group A, Odigie was named the best coach in February.
The Benin club in the month under review continued the fine form that saw them secure victories away at El-Kanemi Warriors and at home against Nasarawa United and Enyimba.
Their other two matches saw them draw with Gombe United and Shooting Stars, meaning that Bendel Insurance have now gone nine matches this season, without losing a game.
It becomes the second time Odigie wins the award this season having also won it at the end of January.
Also nominated for the February honour were Mohammed Baba-Ganaru, the coach of Lobi Stars - the Group B leaders, Enyimba's Finidi George, and Akwa United's Deji Ayeni.
