The head coach of Nasarawa United Football Club, Bala Nikyu, has stepped down on mutual consent, after three seasons at the helm of affairs.
The former Super Falcons Coach’s exit from the Solid Miners followed the team’s unimpressive results in the ongoing 2022/23 Nigeria Premier Football League Season, as team suffered 1-2 home loss to El-Kanemi Warriors, in a Matchday 12 encounter on Saturday, at the New Jos Stadium.
Bala thanked the Club and its wonderful supporters for the opportunity given to him to serve, describing Nasarawa United as a big and amazing club with so much to offer.
The Management of Nasarawa United headed by Chief Barr. Isaac Danladi, has welcomed the decision of coach to step down land wished him well in his future engagement.
Subsequently, the Management has appointed Abubakar Arikya as Acting Head Coach pending the appointment of a substantive Technical Adviser, to be assisted by Sammson Keshi Marwa, Balarabe Ibrahim and Ibrahim Yahaya Sabo.
“We thank the Coach for his wisdom to step down from his role. Yes, the results are not what we ever envisaged, but we hope this is the best for both parties, going forward.
“We have but six league matches remaining and we have a herculean task on our hands to stabilize in the league.
“There is no better time to join forces than now. Everyone has to be at his best to ensure the highest possible result for our darling Club and our teaming fans.” Said the Club Chairman
