For the vice-chairman of Lobi Stars, the award is the fourth in less than a year from different reputable organizations.
According to the organisers, the award goes to show that the recipient is “blessed with a rare gift and track record of performance in his chosen profession as a football manager of excellence.”
It will be recalled that Lobi Stars had a good run in the NPFL 2019/2020 as they constantly found themselves in one of the top three positions till the COVID-19 Pandemic aborted the league season.
Lobi Stars eventually lost out of the continent via a controversial PPG Mechanism which catapulted Enyimba from fifth place to third and finally second position.
Idoko who personally received the award said he is spurred to do more to justify the series of awards he has received.
