Kwara United Football Club on Saturday in Ilorin announced former Wikki Tourists of Bauchi handler, Kabir Dogo, as the club’s new Technical Adviser.
Dogo is replacing Abdulazeez Mohammed who resigned from the position a few moments earlier on Saturday.
The appointment, according to the club, is with immediate effect.
The club’s Chairman, Kumbi Titiloye said it was very necessary to name another coach, because “allowing a vacuum will not augur well for the club at this crucial moment”.
Dogo’s appointment came shortly after Mohammed’s resignation, just moments after their 0-2 loss to hosts Nasarawa United FC at the New Jos Stadium on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the loss was in a Match Day 7 fixture of the 2022/2023 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
Under Mohammed, this season, Kwara United won just one of their seven matches.
They beat Akwa United FC, drew against Gombe United and Shooting Stars Sports Club, and lost their four other matches.
NAN reports that the coach while stepping aside, said the potentials were there for them to do well, but it was unfortunate that things were going the wrong way.
Titiloye said since the club had accepted Mohammed’s resignation, there would be no need to allow for a vacuum, hence the engagement of Dogo.
Dogo had also just resigned as the handler of Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi, another NPFL side.
