The club’s secretary Tahiru Bala, who confirmed Ganaru appointment, said the coach reached an agreement with the club on Monday and the management has informed coach Amapakabo about the latest development.
Bala said: “Sequel to the end of the contract between Coach Imam Amapakabo and El-Kanemi Warriors FC, the management of the club has resolved not to renew the contract. This is as a result of the fact that coach is now second in command at the Super Eagle and the workload is now too much for him.
“There is also public outcry that the coach hardly stays in Maiduguri as a result of his national engagement. Coach Imama is one of the best coaches in Nigeria, but then the management had to take this decision in the interest of the team and the state at large.
“The management appreciates the contribution of the coach, and wishes him all the best in his future endeavors. Tomorrow (Wednesday) Insha Allah, the management will unveil a new coach.”
