A Board member of Kano Pillars football club, Ahmed Tijani, has slammed the club’s newly appointed foreign coach.
Speaking to newsmen Tijani, said ever since the inception of the French tactician, there has been no sign of intelligence and pillars has been performing below expectations against lowly rated sides.
“We have seen his plan, if a coach is coming to a team, an expatriate who has a UEFA license certificate as they said, certainly he should bring new ideas”.
“Even from the training, you will know, but this one has not brought anything, Nasarawa United thrashed pillars five zero in a friendly match in Kaduna, is this man a coach? He is nothing near a coach”, he stated.
“Pillars have been playing lowly rated teams, Pillars have been struggling to win by close margins, infact there is a match we played with an academy team that we ended up with 1-1.”
Kano Pillars, manage-ment recently appointed the French man, Lionel Emmanuel Soccoia, as new coach ahead of the next month’s CAF Confederation Cup preliminary rounds.
Soccoia, whose preferred formation is 4-4-2 and last job as head coach was at South African club, Black Leopards, in September 2019.
