Benin: Ibrahim Aboudou appointed new coach of Cavaliers de Nikki

The Cavaliers de Nikki have found their new head coach. Ibrahim Aboudou has been officially appointed to lead the club, tasked with turning around a team that has struggled mightily this season.

The Beninese coach, who has previously managed Aspac, Buffles, AS Takunnin, and Panthères FC, takes over from Nigerian Usman Abdallah. His extensive experience in the national championship is seen as a major asset to rekindle momentum.

Currently sitting 17th out of 18 in Celtiis Benin Ligue 1, the Cavaliers have picked up just 13 points from 17 matches: 2 wins, 7 draws, and 8 defeats, scoring only 8 goals while conceding 16. This record is a far cry from the standards of a club that finished third last season. Ibrahim Aboudou's mission is clear: save the Cavaliers and secure their place in the top flight.
