Following some disappointing results and performances in the ongoing NPFL, the management of Kwara United have reshuffled its technical crew.

It will be recalled that the technical crew led by Coach Kabir Sulaiman Dogo were given a three-match ultimatum following a goalless draw against Niger Tornadoes in Ilorin.

To this end, former captain and coach of the team, Tunde Sanni Salihu has been returned as the Chief Coach.

Salihu was until his appointment, the Chief Coach of Abia Warriors and the Kwara State Chairman of Nigeria Football Coaches Association (NFCA).

The shake up was approved at a meeting to review the club’s performance after a three-match ultimatum.

Dogo retained his position as Technical Adviser, and will now be assisted by Sanni as Chief Coach, while Coach Olaniyi Mukaila Shittu also retains his position as Assistant Coach.

Bolaji Abdulkadri will now be in charge of the Kwara United junior team.

The chairman of the club, Kumbi Titiloye said that the arrangements became necessary to return the team to winning ways.

“I have never witnessed the type of performance you are putting up in my five years in charge. How do you repay the government and the stakeholders for the hard earned tax payers money being spent on the team”, he said.

The team recorded just a victory out of three matches, a 2-1 win against Plateau United and two losses at home and away to Kano Pillars and Lobi stars 2-1 and 0-2 respectively.
