Katsina United has named Bala Abubakar as their new head coach.
Abubakar penned a one-year contract with the modest side.
The young tactician will take the place of Tony Bolus, who was sacked by the club on Tuesday.
The Chanji Boys cited Bolus’ lack of respect for the club’s hierarchy for their decision.
Katsina United have recorded three wins from 12 league matches this season. READ ALSO:
