Fidelis Ilechukwu has described Lagos as his “home” after guiding Rangers International FC to the 2025/2026 Nigeria Premier Football League title with another victory in the commercial city.

Rangers sealed their ninth league crown on Sunday following a tense 2-1 victory over Ikorodu City FC at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, capping off a remarkable run.

Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES after the title-clinching triumph, Ilechukwu reflected on his long-standing connection with Lagos football and the influence the city has had on his coaching career.

“Lagos is home always for me because I’ve worked here, I’ve lived here, I’ve been here for more than 30 years,” Ilechukwu said.

“They love me here. It’s a place that has no sentiment.
