Etebo awaits new boss as struggling Stoke sacks Manager
Super Eagles midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo and his teammates are to await a new boss following the sacking of Stoke Manager Nathan Jones after barely 10 months in the saddle.
The former Luton boss won only six of his 38 games in charge, having succeeded Gary Rowett in January. He leaves with the club second from bottom in the English Championship.
Assistant manager Paul Hart and first-team coach Joaquin Gomez have also reportedly left the club.
Etebo who joined the Championship side in June last year from Portuguese side Feirense for €7.2million has made over 45 appearances for the side with two goals to his credit.
Etebo who has been left out in Gernot Rohr 23-man squad for the 2021 Nations cup qualifier against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively, was in action for about 21 minutes in Stoke’s lone goal defeat by Sheffield Wednesday, was however not in action in the last match against Millwall that ended in another 2-0 defeat.
The former Warri Wolves ace will however be hoping to be part of the team when Stoke host West Brom on Monday with team coach Nathan Jones and his assistants all missing from the technical bench.
