Following five seasons of success with the club, David Adeola Oluwalaanu this week Monday, February 19th, agreed with FC Minneapolis to extend his contract for three more years as the head coach of their Men’s Premier team playing in the Midwest West Conference of the United Premier Soccer League.
He is a former Nigerian U17 National Team Player who also played for the Shakhtar Donetsk U21 team. He also spent some time with Greek giants Panathinaikos briefly for negotiation and he is expected to continue bringing professional experience to the club.
David who joined the team in 2018 was also previously called James Oluranti before legally changing his name to Oluwalaanu David Adeola.
His past professional experience in Europe coupled with his National Team Experience with Nigeria enabled him to transform FC Minneapolis into a football powerhouse in the United Premier Soccer League, reaching Division Semis, and becoming the first team in the entire State of Minnesota to reach the US National Cup Regional Finals and the Champions of Regions Semis during the 2021 Summer season within the first three years he had been in charge of the club.
We hope that his unique game identity together with his strong leadership will continue to translate into positive results on and off the field and to further enhance the image of the club both locally and across the globe.
