Plateau United Fires Coach Baraje
Nigeria premier league
club Plateau United have sacked coach Zalaru Baraje and replaced him with former skipper Victor Wickadason, according to officials.
According to a statement by the Jos, the experienced Baraje has booted out due to a run of poor results, adding that there was “a communication gap between the coach, his assistants and the players”.
Barajie was in his third spell at Plateau and has handled various other clubs including Enyimba, Nasarawa united and Akwa United.
Plateau, who were held to a 1-1 draw at home on Sunday by El Kanemi, are back in the Nigeria top flight after five seasons in the lower league.
They are 13th on the league table with 21 points.
Wickadason has been promoted from club’s youth team.
