Ohis Asein

Following a comprehensive review of the team’s performance throughout the 2025/2026 season and the recently concluded Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Super Six in Port Harcourt, the management of Bayelsa Queens is reportedly set to relieve Head Coach Whyte Ogbonda of his duties.

Sources close to the club indicate that the decision was reached after an assessment of the team’s overall campaign, with management expressing dissatisfaction over the club’s inability to meet its targets and expectations during the season.

Bayelsa Queens, one of the most successful clubs in the NWFL, entered the Super Six with high hopes of challenging for the title but failed to produce the desired results, prompting the club’s hierarchy to initiate changes aimed at strengthening the team ahead of the next season.

While an official statement is yet to be released by the club, reports suggest that discussions regarding a replacement are already underway as management seeks to reposition the Prosperity Girls for greater success in future competitions.

Coach Whyte Ogbonda’s tenure saw moments of promise, but the club’s recent performances appear to have convinced management that a new direction is needed.

Fans and stakeholders will now await an official announcement from Bayelsa Queens regarding the coaching situation and the club’s plans moving forward.

This remains a developing story pending official confirmation from Bayelsa Queens Football Club.
