Gbenga Ogunbote has credited the commitment of his players and backroom staff for Plateau United F.C.’s crucial victory over Kano Pillars F.C. on the final day of the season.
The Peace Boys secured a narrow 1-0 win in a fiercely contested match at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday, a result that guaranteed their Nigeria Premier Football League status for next season.
Ogunbote admitted the battle for survival was one of the toughest challenges of his coaching career.
“It was a collective responsibility everybody had a share in the game,” Ogunbote reacted in a post-match interview.
“It was a project I must confess took a big toll on me, it didn’t come easy until the last day of the campaign.
“This is the first time I will be having it difficult in my entire coaching career, I commend everyone for working tirelessly to achieve this for the club.”
