Yusuf Salihu, the previous manager of Apex Krane, has been hired by Kogi United as its new head coach, and Chidi Oji has been promoted to technical consultant for the team.
Kogi United’s chairman, Abdulmalik Isah, welcomed the new head coach at a brief ceremony on Monday in Lokoja. He urged him to use his wealth of expertise for the team, noting that his prior employment and track record speak for themselves and were the reasons for his hiring.
Yusuf Salihu was chosen from a lengthy number of coaches, according to the team manager Mallam Tijani Ibrahim, because of his discipline as a person with military experience and his familiarity with the Nigerian football landscape.
