Posted : 17 February 2025

The management of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Nasarawa United FC has parted ways with its Technical Adviser, Kabir Dogo, following a goalless draw with Ikorodu City FC in the 2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 24 fixtures in Lafia.

The management of the Solid Miners made the official announcement on Monday morning.

Nasarawa United said: “We wish to announce that we have mutually agreed to part ways with Technical Director Kabir Dogo, effective immediately.

“This decision has been made following a thorough review of the Club's performance in the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League season, where we have fallen short of our expectations.

“Despite the efforts of the coaching staff and players, results have not improved to the required level, and we have made the difficult decision to make a change.

“We want to specially thank Coach Kabir Dogo, who has treated our Club and members as family, for his commitment and hard work during his time with us.

“Unfortunately, results have not gone in our favor, and we feel it is in the best interest of the Club to move forward in a new direction.”

For his part, Coach Kabir Dogo, who was on his second stint with the Solid Miners, expressed his appreciation to the management and other staff of the Club for the opportunity to have managed the team. He extended his heartfelt gratitude to the players, supporters, and fans alike, while wishing the team all the best in the tasks ahead.

“Due to the precarious situation of the Club, we have decided to appoint former Chief Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Salisu Yusuf, as the new replacement for Coach Kabir Dogo, to take charge of the team immediately.

“The Kaduna State-born CAF 'A' licensed Coach Salisu Yusuf boasts an impressive coaching CV, both at the Club and national team levels, and we hope that his arrival will help turn around the fortunes of our Club in the remaining part of the league campaign.

“We wish to express our earnest assurances to our loyal supporters and fans that we are committed to improving our performance and competing at the highest level of club football in the country.

“We appreciate your continued support and understanding during this period of transition.”
