Enyimba terminates Usman Abd'Allah contract with immediate effect

The People's Elephant, Enyimba, has announced the sacking of its technical adviser, Usman Abd'Allah, following a run of unimpressive results since the start of the season.

The 45-year-old tactician failed to record a win in five consecutive matches and his sack was sealed by a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of fellow NPFL side Plateau United on Sunday.

Abd'Allah's assistant, Fatai Osho has been appointed to take charge in an interim role.

Since their 1-0 win over Rivers United on December 12, Enyimba has been winless in their last five games - losing three and settling for two draws, Goal reveals.

Enyimba is placed 13th in the Nigeria Professional Football League table with 15 points after 10 games. They host Kwara United for their next fixture on Wednesday.

"This is not a decision we have taken lightly, nor in haste," club chairman, Felix Anyansi Agwu noted.

“Results and performances since the start of this season have been very unimpressive and the club must take action to forestall further setbacks.

“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 always and we can’t accept nothing less.”

“The club wishes Coach Usman Abd’allah the best for the future and thank him for his service.”
