Nigerian coach Usman Abd’allah has been sacked by Nigeria Professional Football League side Enyimba following Sunday’s 4-0 loss against league leaders Plateau United in Jos.
The two-time CAF Champions league winners are without a win in their last five games in all competitions which prompt Abd’allah's sacking.
The Peoples Elephants released an official statement on their Twitter page to announce Abd’allah's sacking as he is being replaced with his assistant, Fatai Osho on interim basis pending the appointment of a new coach.
“Enyimba Football Club can announce today that coach Usman Abd’allah has been relieved of his duties as technical adviser with immediate effect,” the club stated on their official Twitter page.
“After a string of disappointing results, the club believes it must set a new course now and regain its competitive edge, domestically and on the continent.
“In the interim, coach Fatai Osho will take over head coach duties. All other announcements on this subject will be made later. The club wishes coach Usman Abd’allah the best for the future and thank him for his service.”
Felix Anyansi Agwu who is the club chiarman also revealed why the board took the decision to sack Abd’allah.
“This is not a decision we have taken lightly, nor in haste. Results and performances since the start of this season have been unimpressive and the club must take action to forestall further setbacks,”he revealed.
“We are speaking to the players too and they must do better otherwise there will be consequences. As Enyimba we are committed to earning positive results and we can’t accept nothing else.”
