Coach Abdul Maikaba has resigned from his role as the technical adviser of Rangers International F.C.

Maikaba has been in charge of the Coal City team for the past two seasons, guilding them to Federation Cup final where they lost to Bendel Insurance.

Maikaba’s deal has ended, but he declined negotiation for a new deal, allowing him to leave the club.

Coach Maikaba stressed that family pressure was the major reason for not willing to renegotiate the contract.

“It has been a fruitful two years of working in Enugu that saw us compete for honors in various competitions and got to the final of this year’s Federation Cup which we lost narrowly. I thank the government of Enugu state for the opportunity to serve.”

“I also thank the management, players, coaches, and other staff for their cooperation while my contract lasted. However, I wish to tell you all that I won’t be renegotiating my contract as pressures from the family front need my attention and I need to give it some attention,” Maikaba said.

“Rangers will continue to have a special place in my heart going forward. In all the clubs I have handled, none of them gave me the platform and treatment to perform maximally.

“The players we have are one of the best I have worked with even though, we peaked lately. I also thank the fans and supporters for being there for us through thick and thin.

“I also appeal that efforts should be expedited to return the team to Enugu to prosecute their matches in the coming seasons.” He said.
