The
management of Nigeria Professional Football League outfit, Plateau United FC of
Jos has asked the technical adviser of the side Zachary Baraje to step aside.
According to
a press release signed by the Media Officer of the team, Albert Dakup, the
decision was taken following a string of poor results by the Simon Lalong boys
in recent times.
Former
Nigeria junior international, Victor Wickadson, has been mandated to serve in
an acting capacity as the technical adviser.
Wickadson,
who was not too long ago reassigned from the feeder side of the club to act as
chief coach with the main team under Baraje, would now be assisted by Audu Isah
Pele who will occupy the position of chief coach with Morris Lompiam and Tunde
Adedara as assistant coaches.
All the
appointments are on acting capacities and with immediate effect. Baraje was
appointed in January 2016 and joined the team in a pre-season training camp in
Kaduna before the start of the NPFL.
Last season,
he had helped Akwa United of Uyo to win the Federation Cup title and this is
his second at Plateau United.
Plateau
United came from behind to play out a 1-1 draw with visiting El Kanemi Warriors
of Maiduguri at the Rwang Pam Stadium on Sunday.
Wickadson’s
baptism of fire will be an away match day 18 fixture against Heartland fc of
Owerri at the Dan Anyiam Stadium in Owerri on Wednesday.
