Kano Pillars head coach, Usman Abdallah, has rejected the club’s decision to recall him from a three-week suspension, sparking fresh controversy in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL). The experienced tactician was suspended last month over undisclosed disciplinary issues, but the club recently announced his reinstatement.
However, Abdallah has refused to return to his role, reportedly citing unresolved internal matters and concerns over how the suspension was handled. Sources close to the coach revealed that he feels disrespected by the club’s decision-making process and wants further clarifications before resuming duty.
Kano Pillars, one of the most successful teams in the NPFL, had placed Abdallah on suspension following a string of poor performances and alleged conflicts within the management. During his absence, the team struggled with inconsistency, prompting the club to reinstate him in hopes of restoring stability.
Fans and analysts are now speculating on the next steps, with some suggesting that Abdallah’s refusal to return could lead to his permanent departure from the club. Meanwhile, the Kano Pillars management is yet to release an official response regarding the latest development.
As the situation unfolds, supporters are eager to see how the club handles the crisis, especially with crucial league fixtures ahead. Abdallah’s coaching experience has been vital to the team’s progress, and his continued absence could pose a major challenge for Kano Pillars in the ongoing NPFL season.
