Nicknamed “The Oracle”, Ogunbote is a manager every Nigerian football club will want in their team. This is quite surprising considering the fact that he began his coaching career at Sunshine Stars in 2012. How he was able to rise to stardom is something that is baffling.

During his time with Enugu Rangers, his Flying Antelopes team performed something of a miracle in 2017 when they, after succumbing to a crushing 3-nil defeat to Kano Pillars during the final of the Aiteo Cup, managed to get the game to a penalty shootout and eventually won.

In 2018, he bagged the award of the Nigerian Best Coach even though he was in contention against the Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr and the former Lobi Stars’ manager, Solomon Ogbede. It is interesting to note that he was even the one who replaced Ogbede at Lobi after the latter was fired.
