Ex-Super
Falcons head coach, Kadiri Ikhana(pictured) , has taken charge of Nigeria Professional
Football League (NPFL) side, Nasarawa United.
Ikhana,
who has handled Enyimba, Kano Pillars, Kwara United and Sharks in the past,
resumed on Wednesday and was in charge of two training sessions held in Lafia
for the Solid Miners.
Chairman
of Nasarawa United, Barrister Isaac Danladi, told supersport.com that Ikhana
agreed to a "short-term contract" to handle the Lafia club's last 12
league matches.
Ikhana
has been saddled with the responsibility of saving Nasarawa United from being
relegated to the Nigeria National League (NNL) at the end of this season.
"Mr
Kadiri Ikhana has resumed at the club already. His appointment is with
immediate effect and he agreed to a short-term contract that will see him
manage the team for the remaining part of the season.
"He
met with the squad on Wednesday and took charge of the morning and evening
training sessions with the players and backroom staff," said Danladi to
supersport.com.
The
Nasarawa United chief also disagreed with reports suggesting that former head
coach, Alphonsus Dike and his assistant, Adams Usman were sacked.
He
told supersport.com that the two coaches have been placed on indefinite
suspension.
"Mr
Alphonsus Dike and Mr Adams Usman are on indefinite suspension as recommended
by the management at the moment," he disclosed.
Dike
and Usman were handed a two-match deadline to salvage Nasarawa United's
crumbling season before they were sent on indefinite suspension.
Nasarawa
United currently have 33 points after 26 rounds of matches and also sit in the
bottom four of the NPFL standings.
