Kwara United coach, Dogo, throws team in confusion over resignation

Posted : 31 August 2024

There is now an uneasy calm in the camp of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side, Kwara United, as the Head Coach, Kabiru Dogo, unexpectedly tendered his resignation letter to the club, just a few days before the commencement of the 2024/2025 league season. This surprising development has left the team in a state of uncertainty, as the club was in the final stages of preparing for the new season. Dogo's sudden departure has raised many questions and concerns among players, staff, and fans alike.

In response to Dogo's resignation, the management of the Harmony Boys acted quickly to stabilize the situation. They have appointed Coach Tunde Sanni as the new Head Coach, though his role will be on an interim basis. The swift decision was made to ensure that the team would have leadership in place as the season kicks off. Coach Sanni, who has been with the club in various capacities before, is expected to provide a steady hand during this transitional period.

Kwara United's Chairman, Kumbi Titiloye, confirmed the decision late on Friday evening. Titiloye expressed his understanding of Dogo's choice to return to his former club, Nasarawa United, and wished him well in his future endeavors. Despite the shock of Dogo's resignation, Titiloye assured that the club is committed to moving forward and will soon announce who will serve as Coach Sanni's assistant.

Titiloye also emphasized that the resignation of Kabiru Dogo has not dampened the spirits of the team or the management. On the contrary, he believes that this challenge will serve as a catalyst for the team to work even harder. The club's focus remains on preparing for their opening match of the season and delivering strong performances throughout the campaign.

The departure of Dogo and the appointment of Sanni come at a crucial time, with the new NPFL season set to commence next weekend. Kwara United is scheduled to face Niger Tornadoes in their first match of the season, which will take place at the Kwara State Stadium complex in Ilorin. This game is expected to set the tone for the team's performance in the early stages of the season.

The management of Kwara United is hopeful that the transition will be smooth and that Coach Sanni will be able to quickly implement his strategies and get the best out of the players. The team is under pressure to perform well, given the high expectations from fans and the competitive nature of the league.

As Kwara United prepares for the new season, the club's supporters are eager to see how the team will adapt to the changes and what impact the new interim coach will have. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining the trajectory of the season for the Harmony Boys.
