Bosso Unveils Bayelsa United Transfer Plans For Next Season
Bayelsa United coach Ladan Bosso has opened up on the club’s transfer plans ahead of the 2025-26 Nigeria Premier Football League season.
Bosso led the Prosperity Boys to an 11th place finish with 52 points from 38 matches.
He took over the team at the beginning of last season, and he was heavily criticised for their poor performances which left them in the relegation zone.
However, The Former Flying Eagles coach was able to turn the team’s fortunes around in the second stanza of the season, finishing three points, and five places above the relegation zone.
The team is expected to resume training for next season on June 28, Bosso has outlined their transfer plans for the new season.
He said: “The team will regroup on 28 June. It isn’t going to be a massive recruitment, no. Just about five or six players in key areas of need.
“For now, I’m resting. It wasn’t an easy campaign last term, so while the players are enjoying their off-season break, the officials, including coaches, also deserve to rest and refresh.”
Bosso said he achieved his objective last season, and he is looking forward to building on it in the 2025-26 season.
He said: “I signed a two-year contract when I came before the start of last season. My mandate was clear — to stabilise the team in the Premier League and then fight for a top finish in the second year.
“I think we’ve achieved the first part, and now we want to see how far we can go in pursuit of the second objective.”
The 2025-26 Nigeria Professional Football League season will kick off on August 22, 2025 and end on May 24, 2026.
The Niger State-born coach has managed the likes of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Kano Pillars, Wikki Tourists, Abia Warriors, and El-Kanemi Warriors in the Nigeria Premier Football League in the past.
Bosso was appointed as the head coach of the Nigeria national under-20 football team. He led the team to the quarter-final stage of the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
