Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side Kano Pillars have announced the appointment of Usman Abdallah as their new technical adviser.

Abdallah, who previously managed Enyimba and led them to an NPFL title in 2019, has signed a two-year contract with the option for an additional year.

Bringing a wealth of experience, Abdallah also served as an assistant coach for the Super Eagles and was instrumental in guiding Katsina United to NPFL promotion two seasons ago.

He takes over from Paul Offor, who departed from the club just weeks after his appointment.

Kano Pillars are set to kick off the 2024/25 season at home against newly promoted Ikorodu City.
