- By Mansur Abubakar

Kaduna United midfielder Isah Aminu has described the death of the team’s manager Saleh Lato as shocking.

The experience­d gaffer died

last Sunday at the Ibrahim Sani Abacha hospital, Kaduna, after just a day of illness.

“It was just sudden, he only complained of malaria in the morning and by evening the news broke that he was no more, he was a good man and experience­d coach and we will miss him immensely” the player said in a telephone interview.

Lato will always be remembered by Kaduna United faithful as he was part of the technical crew that won the 2010 Federation Cup, beating Enyimba 3-2.

United will be battling to get their season back on track after week seven away loss to Crown FC which leaves the team languishin­g in 17th position in the Nigeria Premier League.
