FC Ifeanyi Ubah’s Rafael Everton is top contender for the Manager awards for the month of August in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) – League Bloggers Awards (LBA).

It is a second successive shortlist for Everton in the manager’s category and this time, he was able to lead FC Ifeanyi Ubah from the dugout to win in the derby against Enugu Rangers and then versus Wikki Tourists and pulled off a win on the road at Warri Wolves though he saw his side start the month of August losing two-nil at Plateau United.

Also nominated are Ladan Bosso of El-Kanemi Warriors, Solomon Ogbeide of Sunshine Stars and Enyimba’s Paul Aigbogun.

Aigbogun and Bosso guided their clubs, Enyimba and El- Kanemi to unbeaten runs last month and on the back of their teams’ performance squeeze their way into the shortlist for managers.

Ogbeide returns among the shortlists again after making an appearance in the month of June. The Sunshine Stars gaffer watched and tutored his men to garner eight points from five matches including a 0-0 draw at Enyimba.

Four players including NPFL top scorer, Godwin Obaje of Wikki Tourists are also in the run for the award.

On the list include Samad Kadiri of Sunshine Stars, FC Ifeanyi Ubah’s Chijioke Alakwe and Ibrahim Ajani of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) make up the list to compete for the player’s award for August.
