Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side Kano Pillars has appointed Lione Emmanuel Soccia as their new head coach ahead of the new season.
The ‘Mai Su Gida’ side will be competing in the CAF Confederation Cup next month and have been without a head coach.
Pillars announced on Tuesday that Soccia signed a one-year contract with the club and Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullah I Umar Ganduje approved the appointment of the new head coach. With CAF directives to all participating clubs go get a CAF ‘A’ licensed head coach or its equivalent, Pillars have found their man in Soccia.
Media officer of Pillars Rilwanu Idris Malikawa confirmed that their new head coach will be officially unveiled today.
Alhaji Surajo cleared every doubt that the new head coach will not interfere with the club technical crew members.
The French tactician has previously worked in Cameroon, South Africa and Zambia to mention but few.
