Plateau United coaches get one-match ultimatum
The management of Plateau United Football Club of Jos has given a one match ultimatum to the club’s Team Manager Abel Iliya, Chief Coach Audu Isa Pele, as well as other assistant coaches.
The club in a statement signed by its Media Officer, Albert Dakup said the ultimatum was given by the General Manager of the club, Pius Henwan.
The statement explained that if Plateau United fail to win the next home game against Akwa United of Uyo, members of the club’s technical crew would lose their jobs.
Similarly, four players have been placed on the transfer market due to poor performance, while warning letters have been issued to others to sit up or face the exit door.
The club clarified that the technical adviser of the team, Abdu Maikaba was not affected by the ultimatum, because investigation carried out by the club discovered that the other coaches were the root cause of the club’s woes.
General Manager of the Club, Pius Henwan said the marching order
became necessary in order to save the team from relegation.
“The 10th position presently occupied by the club in the group B league table of the NPFL is not acceptable to the management and the government of Plateau State who are the sole financiers of the team,
“The General Manager regretted that despite government unalloyed support to the team by the prompt payment of their salaries, match bonus and other allowances, the team has failed to reciprocate that gesture by posting good results this season,” the statement said.
