Pillars Sack Coach Emordi
Nigerian champions
Kano Pillars have sacked their coach, Okey Emordi.
The team has been struggling in the league this season and is on ninth in the table and nine points behind leaders Sunshine Stars and Enyimba.
They also failed to get past the first round of the African Champions league and were knocked out of Nigeria’s Federation Cup by lower league side outfit Plateau United.
The club’s board was expected to have met yesterday to discuss a replacement.
Players and fans passed a vote of no confidence in Emordi, who last season steered the club to a third straight league championship
