Kano Pillars are on the verge of appointing Usman Abdallah as their new head coach following the departure of Abdul Maikaba.
Sources revealed that Abdallah has emerged as the leading candidate among the contenders, which included Paul Offor and Deji Ayeni.
He guided Enyimba to the NPFL title in 2019 and reached the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup.
Usman Abdallah’s coaching resume also includes a stint with Katsina United and a role as assistant coach for the Super Eagles.
The new appointment comes after a disappointing season for Kano Pillars, who narrowly avoided relegation.
