Umuahia-based Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Abia Warriors, may be on the verge of a rebuilding process, and the club’s hierarchy believes that one of Nigeria’s most respected coaches, Imama Amapakabo, is the right man to lead the charge.
Amapakabo, a former international and coach of Enugu Rangers, led the Flying Antelopes to a historic league title in 2016.
He is known for his discipline and tactical acumen, which are essential qualities required to build a formidable team.
In an exclusive chat to OwoSports, Imama revealed that his primary focus is to recruit the right players and instill his philosophy in the team.
“We are starting to build a team that can compete,”
“Getting the recruitment right and imbibing on the team my philosophy is a required ingredient to building a formidable team,” he said.
Imama’s appointment is seen as a strategic move by the Abia Warriors management to revamp the team and make the 2024 Federation Cup finalist a force to reckon with in the NPFL.
