By Monsurah Olatunji
Abdu Maikaba, head coach of Rangers FC has called on the management of the club to terminate his contract with immediate effect following the team’s poor start to the 2022/23 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
The Flying Antelopes opened their campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Abia Warriors in the Oriental derby and lost 1-0 to Lobi Stars last week, before being forced to a 1-1 draw against Shooting Stars.
In an emotion laden speech, the experienced tactician admitted it is time for him to leave the Coal City club.
“We have worked so hard, but unfortunately things are not going the expected way. And l would like, if it is going to be possible to meet the representatives of the government of Enugu state to terminate my contract,” Maikaba said after the game.
“They see me as the problem of the team, I really love this team, they have treated me so well but if am the problem, l would love to go. l would like the termination of this contract. I will be happy with that.
“You are a living witness, the problem, l don’t think it is purely technical but this is not the forum to discuss that. But to make it better for the team, if I am really the problem, it is better l leave so that the team will progress.”
The seven-time champions are still looking for their first win of the campaign as they remain rooted to the bottom of the Group B table after securing just one point from their opening three games.
Rangers will next face Niger Tornadoes and will hope to turn things around.
