In a dramatic turn of events, Kano Pillars FC have suspended their Technical Adviser, Usman Sheriff Abdallah, for three weeks due to the team’s dismal performance and his unprofessional conduct towards fans. The decision was taken by the club’s management, led by Alhaji Ali Muhammad Umar, following a goalless draw against Bayelsa United on Sunday.
The Sai Masu Gida have struggled to find consistency in recent matches, securing only one win in their last three outings. This dip in form has raised concerns among the management and supporters, who expect a higher level of performance from the team. The suspension of Usman Abdallah is a clear indication that the club will not tolerate underperformance and unprofessional behavior.
The incident that sparked the suspension occurred immediately after the match against Bayelsa United, when Usman Abdallah’s gesture towards the fans was deemed inappropriate by the management. This behavior was seen as unacceptable and has led to the disciplinary action.
In the interim, club legend and Chief Coach, Ahmed Garba Yaro-Yaro, will take charge of the technical team. He will be supported by assistant coaches Abubakar Musa, Gambo Muhammad, Suleiman Shuaibu, and Ayuba Musa as they work to stabilize the squad and improve results.
The Pyramid City side will now shift focus to their upcoming NPFL25 Matchday 23 fixture against Remo Stars in Ikenne, a crucial away encounter where they will look to bounce back and restore confidence. With the suspension of Usman Abdallah, the team will be looking to regroup and refocus under the guidance of Ahmed Garba Yaro-Yaro.
The management of Kano Pillars FC has reiterated its commitment to maintaining professionalism and fostering a respectful relationship between the team and its passionate supporters. The club will continue to work towards achieving its goals and making its fans proud.
