Technical adviser, Coach Sani Sarduana speaking to the club’s media, described the draw as a fair one even as he noted some experienced teams in the mix.

“There are experienced teams in our group but the bottom line is that I have been given a target and that target is to get ABS FC back to the elite league.

“We are going back home now to put finishing touches on our programme and to see how we will take one match at a time. if I am winning the league I have to start from day one and to approach one game at a time” He said.

Coach Sarduana also hailed the organisation of the Coaches and Media Managers Workshop in Ikenne as “Marvellous” adding that it was a great initiative which has provided the coaches with the opportunity to bound and as well meet with old friends.

“This workshop has been Marvellous and it has been an outstanding one. the environment, the synergy here has been fantastic. The resource persons have impacted us hugely and I will try to transfer the knowledge to the players for a better performance. 

Sardauna who was appointed as the class head at the coaches’ workshop said the platform has also given coaches the opportunity to bond together.

He further said “We’ve also learnt from the workshop that, as coaches we must show great personality before, during and after the game. We are being told that whatever the outcome of the game is,we should embrace each other.

The tactician however called on the fans to come out en masse to give ABS the needed support to achieve its goals in the new season.

As ABS FC eyes return to the elite league, they will begin their campaign against Kun Khalifat away from home for their league opener.
