In a bid to strengthen its attacking row, CAF champions league campaigners Kano Pillars have concluded plans to sign on a Brazilian born striker, whose identity is yet to be unveiled by the management of the side.
Speaking in an interview monitored in Kano, Ibrahim Galadima EX-NFF boss(then NFA) revealed that the technical crew charged with the responsibility of tinkering the 2007/2008 Premier league title holders to success in their ongoing continental onslaught, laid down a request to contract the services of 5 players amongst which two are from across the shores of Nigeria football.
He added that the 3 players been sought after would switch allegiance from local club sides to the Kano side at the end of the ongoing Nigeria Premier league season.
Commenting on reasons that prompted the engagement of a foreign coach to oversee the continental campaign, Galadima said’ we need someone with vast knowledge in the politics of the game, insisting that two coaches could not take charge of over 40 players and deliver the required result, that is why we decided to contract an additional coach who is highly experience”.
The Kano Pillars Continental Committee Chairman attributed the poor display by the Pyramid lads in the 2008/2009 season to poor officiating, stating that though poor officiating is the bane of the teams dismissal performance in the league, cautious approach on the part of the players in view to eschew injury is another factor disclosed Galadima.
Commenting further on the poor runs posed by Pillars this season, the Kano born football administrator who failed to lead Nigeria to a World Cup outing in 2006, before shown the exit route from the Glass House, cited lack of vision on the part of the core management of the team, whom he disclosed should have opted for a makeshift venue in the ancient, contrary to adopting Kaduna as a temporary home ground to the team, which he said has financial and moral implications to the disadvantage of the Kano side.
