Daniel Ogunmodede
Nigerian soccer coach
Daniel Ogunmodede (born 19 May 1980) is a Nigerian professional football manager who is the head coach of Nigeria Premier Football League club Kano Pillars and an assistant manager for the Nigeria national football team. From 2021 to 2022, Ogunmodede was the assistant coach of Portuguese club CD Feirense under Rui Ferreira.
Early life and education
Born in Ogun State, Nigeria, Ogunmodede spent his early years looking to become a medical doctor, per his father's wishes. He would later obtain two degrees, one in physiology from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology and another in human kinetics from the University of Ilorin.
Coaching career
Early career
Ogunmodede initially pursued a career in football, but an appendix operation prevented him from reaching the professional level. Following medical advice, he discontinued playing to avoid serious health risks.
Crown FC
After shifting his focus to coaching with his parents' encouragement, he was noticed by the late Crown F.C. chairman, Chief Olagbenro. Chief Olagbenro subsequently granted him a scholarship to pursue coaching training at Nigeria's National Institute of Sports, with the arrangement that he would complete an internship at the club upon earning his coaching certificate. Although Chief Olagbenro passed away before the program was completed, the late chairman's wishes were honoured, and the opportunity for the internship was still provided.
Remo Stars
In 2015, Ogunmodede was hired by Remo Stars as an assistant manager to Nduka Ugbade and was also put in charge of the youth team.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q119889038. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1980, 2021, 2022 and 2015.
