Enugu Rangers Coach Suspended
Head coach Imama Amapakabo of
Rangers International has confirmed his sacking by Nigeria Professional
Football League champions. On his twitter handle on Monday night, Amapakabo
wrote: “It’s official. Received a termination of my contract with Rangers international
football Club by email by 5:35pm. Thank you lord for every.”
“Next page jare!! Let the show
begin.”
It was Amapakabo who led Rangers to their first
NPFL title in over 30 years last season. but have struggled with the Flying
Antelopes this season as they are currently bottom of the league table. They
got knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Zamalek and are on the verge of
crashing out of the Confederation Cup after drawing 2-2 at home against Zesco
United of Zambia last Sunday. Former Super Eagles coach and manager of Rangers
International Christian Chukwu said Amapakabo’s assistant Chukwuma Agbo had
been appointed as the struggling team’s caretaker manager. “We are
looking for a coach to take over the team — but Agbo will be in
charge until we appoint a substantive coach.”
He added, “Whether you say the
coach (Amapakabo) has been suspended, sacked or fired, the most important thing
is that we will appoint a new coach. But he has not been given a
letter terminating his contract; he is only suspended for now.”
