Nigeria Premier Football League side El-Kanemi Warriors FC will officially unveil Kabiru Dogo as their new Technical Adviser today, Sunday, 29 June, at a ceremony set to commence at 11:00 a.m. in Maiduguri.
A well-placed source privy to the negotiations told PREMIUM TIMES that Dogo, who touched down in the city on Friday, will complete the formalities this morning when he signs his contract alongside the club’s leadership.
Dogo, PREMIUM TIMES confirmed, will be offered a two-year contract and will be allowed to come with one Assistant Coach.
Last season, the “Mighty Warriors” scraped clear of the drop zone by a single point, prompting the board to restructure the technical department even before securing their marquee appointment.
Under this interim setup, Mohammed Kachalla was elevated from assistant to chief coach, while Ibrahim Imam A. Laji—fresh from leading DMD FC to promotion from the Nigeria Nationwide League One—assumed the role of assistant coach.
Ishaku Hussaini and Hussaini Yusuf joined from Aminu Babes and El-Kanemi Babes, respectively, to bolster the coaching and goalkeeping teams, and popular ‘Casillas’ Usman Mohammed was drafted in as assistant goalkeeping coach.
