Ahmed Musa, former Super Eagles captain and General Manager of Kano Pillars FC, has unveiled a nine-point agenda aimed at reviving the glory days of the two-time Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) champion.
Fielding questions from reporters at a press conference held at Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, on Thursday, the former Leicester City star assured fans that the club would bounce back from rock-bottom to occupy his lofty place in the Nigerian league
He stressed that uplifting players’ welfare in a bid to explore the best performance of the team is top in the pecking order of his nine-point agenda.
Besides, the new GM pledged to explore new corporate sponsors to boost the club’s performance to complement government funding.
He assured that the board has started taking steps to ensure that what happened last season does not occur again. “We are going for the trophy this time around,” he said.
“I come with a nine-point agenda for the club to revive the glory of the club. That is why I urge Kano sports lovers to fully support us. I promise to do all I can to revive the club.”
He said it is a very difficult job being both a General Manager and a player. “I will give every player the chance to contribute fully and as well with the fans. We don’t need to depend on government— with them and our jersey; we will have what it takes.”
“Already, there is a huge presence of the club on social media since last week, and that is a great change the club needed. Soon, he said, things would change greatly.
“For now, we need the government to fully stabilise, and already with the management, we have started writing letters to many companies for sponsorship, and very soon we will get it right.”
“And let me further clarify this position—inside the pitch, I’m a player, and the coach has the right to punish me. But outside the pitch, I’m the boss. So the clarity is there,” he concluded.
