Abia Warriors technical adviser, Abdullahi Biffo has urged his colleagues not to be distracted with the incessant sacking of coaches in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) with the current situation.

Biffo admitted that the environment Nigerian coaches are working is uncertain, as he insisting that their destiny is no longer in their hands.

The former Rangers International FC coach, Imama Amapakabo was the latest casualty to be relieved of his job on Monday, making it the fifth coach so far that have been shown the exit door this season.

In a chat with Sportinglens.blospot.com, Biffo urged his contemporaries not to subject themselves to pressure.

“Despite the fact that coaching job in Nigeria is full of pressure, our destiny is not in our hands again. But as a coach, we have to believe that if something is happening today that is not in our favour another good thing can happen tomorrow. If we know that, our mind would be at rest. Even if the club are giving you pressure you must not lose focus.  I am not bothered about that,” Biffo said to Sportinglens.blospot.com.

The former Niger Tornadoes manager has however expressed sympathy with coach Amapakabo.

“Before we were given a job, a target was set for us. The one that baffles me and everybody is Imama (Amapakabo). I think he deserved a lot of respect. They should have rallied round him and gave him all necessary support to make sure he repeats the feat that gave them league title last season. He is passing through a trying time and I know he is going to survive it.”
