Abdallah, others jostle for Pillars coaching job

Kano Pillars hired former Sporting Lagos gaffer Offor some weeks ago, but both parties parted ways mutually on Tuesday after a change in the club’s leadership.

Chairman of the club, Ali Umar, said Offor’s contract was terminated based on mutual consent, noting that the coach was hired by the former management that was dissolved by the Kano State Government a few days later.

In a swift move to hire a new coach, the new management interviewed Abdallah, former coach Ibrahim Musa, and their former player and assistant coach Ahmed Garba Yaro Yaro, among others.

According to a statement from the club’s media team on Thursday, a new coach will soon be announced for Pillars.

“In addition to the physical interviews, the management board is meticulously scrutinising the CVs of other applicants who could not attend in person,” the statement read.
