Just some days ago, Chairman of Kano Pillars Management Team Babangida Umar Little made a solemn announcement on the suspension of the Club’s Coach Abdul Maikaba
It did not stop there as it was followed with that of the appointment of Ahmed Garba fondly called Yaro Yaro to steer the activities of the technical crew on acting capacity until the end of the season
The development which took many soccer enthusiasts by storm did not come as a surprise as nothing is permanent as far as the world is concerned
To many to handle a big team like Pillars to a person they described as novice or inept is not a good idea as according to them it may surely lead to unpardonable blunder that will put the club in a jeopardy
While to others as a wise word says different people with discerning views,they described the appointment as a good omen for the round leather game particularly for local tacticians in Kano as one must start from somewhere
They are of the opinion that the Management took a wise decision in handing the responsibility to a former player of the team who gave his all towards the development of Sai Masu Gida
Thus, they added that they see nothing bad in that order as it is the first time such step was taken and if things went as planned it will open the gate for others in years to come
They cited example of the marvelous assignment Pep Guardiola did when he was assigned to handle Barcelona of Spain despite the fact that he has no full time experience likewise Zidane at Real Madrid who were all former players of the clubs
They dispelled the saying in some quarters that players that performed wonderfully failed to translate it in Coaching career describing it as unfounded,baseless and nothing to write home about
To this end, they are calling on the appointee and members of his crew to perceive the appointment as a huge challenge upon him to serve the society and the team that made him what he was during his playing time
Based on this, he has to tighten his belt and face his job with all seriousness with a view to proving doubters wrong
This will not be attained according to them until he sat down and viewed the intricacies faced by his predecessors aimed at overcoming them and consolidating on their traits
This will only be be practical when he becomes an impartial arbiter through treating all players equal avoiding hypocrites and gosippers\and guard against talking to the press randomly in view of the negativity of doing so and above all endeavour to be patient, confidential, likewise respectful and obedient to one and all not minding his age or post in a given society as the focus will now turn on you
As the league is coming to an end in not less than six weeks, the herculean task upon the technical crew is to crush all their remaining home matches and at least secure two draws in their away fixtures as doing so will pretty sure scale them through
But on the other hand he should rise up in ensuring the team perform creditably well in the Federation cup as history has shown that it is in the event the team usually try best right from when it was formed
Before I put a sealing it is my fervent wish that you will always seek the advice of elders on grey areas and apart from that, that of the fans in order to achieve premium goal as nothing good is attainable in a divided family thus be composed, determined, diligent, humbled, zealous and dedicated this Will definitely help you in shouldering the uphill duty before you
