Embattled Kano Pillars technical adviser, Usman Abdallah says he rejected the club’s request for his return to work after one week of his three-week suspension.
Abdallah was handed a three-week suspension by the management of the club following the team’s poor form and his conduct towards the fans.
Kano Pillars legend and chief coach, Ahmed Garba Yaro-Yaro, was designated to take charge of the technical team on the interim.
“I was asked to return to my duty post just a week after the suspension order, but I said no— let’s wait until the three weeks are completed,” Abdallah told CompleteSports.
“I said no because it’s important I stay out until the suspension elapses. I believe that within that period, the dust raised by the incident would have settled.
“They did the same thing to some former coaches of the club – coaches like Salisu Yusuf, Abdu Maikaba, and Musa Ibrahim, I’ve coached clubs like Katsina United and Enyimba, and I never experienced such behaviour.
“So, I think it’s best for me to stay out until the management resolves the issues regarding this behaviour towards a coach.”
