Nigeria Professional Football League Club, Kano Pillars has parted ways with the former coach of Sporting Lagos, Paul Offor.
Offor was appointed following Abdul Maikaba’s resignation as manager of the Kano-based club. However, just 19 days into his tenure, the club announced the termination of Offor’s contract by mutual agreement.
A statement from the club reads: “Kano Pillars Football Club announces the mutual termination of the contract with its Technical Adviser, Paul Offor. The decision was made in good faith and with mutual consent, underscoring a shared understanding between both parties.”
The announcement was made by the Chairman of Kano Pillars FC, Alhaji Ali Muhammad Umar, through the club’s Media Directorate. Offor, who joined the club under the previous board dissolved by the state government after their interim period expired, was on a one-year contract.
Following Offor’s departure, Kano Pillars are now seeking a new technical adviser to guide the team for the upcoming season. The statement continued, “As Kano Pillars FC looks forward, the club is set to appoint a new Technical Adviser to steer the team in the upcoming 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season.”
The termination of Offor’s contract after just 19 days has come as a shock to many Nigerians and is believed to be the result of a new management takeover, prompting a restructuring of the team.
