The Kwara United Football Club has made Azeez Mohammed as the new Technical Adviser of club.
The appointment came following the expiration of the contract of Coach, Abdullahi Biffo who was in charge of the club for three seasons.
The Club’s Chairman, Kumbi Titiloye said that ”the contract is for a year.”
”The Board of the club decided to engage Coach Azeez because of what we have seen him do, and what he is capable of doing, especially in line with the philosophy of the club,” Kumbi explained.
He said that the team would give him and his lieutenants all the necessary support in the CAF Confederation Cup competition and other competitions this season.
Kumbi further commended the State Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Sports Commission, Fans, and other stakeholders for supporting the club.
Reacting, Coach Azeez said that ‘‘his target was to surpass the records set by the immediate past handler of the club.”
Azeez has coached six other clubs in Sudan in an exploit that spanned between 2012 to 2021.
Kwara United Football Club had a good run in two consecutive seasons, ending the 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 seasons in fourth positions, and ending up earning a CAF Confederation Cup ticket at the end of the just concluded season.
He expressed satisfaction with the consideration and pledged to work harder to build on the successes already attained.
The former Katsina United Football Club coach joined Kwara United with 12 matches to end the just concluded 2021/2022 NPFL season AA a stop-gap coach when Biffo left Nigeria for the US on health grounds.
