The Management of Wikki Tourist football club have named Baba Jibrin as their caretaker coach until the end of the season.

Wikki Tourist identified the experienced tactician as a short-term replacement for Usman Abd’Allah Shariff, who resigned from his position on Monday.

Usman Abdallah spent 16 months in charge of the squad but decided to throwing in towel due to a poor run of results, which include 5-1 loss to Katsina United and 2-1 home defeat to Nasarawa United.

The management have now turned up Baba Jibrin to help thinker the team until a permanent successor for Abdallah is appointed.

Wikki has won just six games from 21 games this season, lost 9, and drawn six.

Jibrin, who was a member of the 1987 Golden Eaglets squad that represented Nigeria at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Canada is now expected to help the team move up in the NPFL table.

His first test will be against Plateau United in a Matchday 23 fixture at the Jos City Stadium.
