Bosso gives reasons for El Kanemi exit

By Taofeek Babalola

Coach Ladan Bosso has revealed that his decision not to renew his contact with El Kanemi Warriors was necessitated by better offers he received from other clubs, sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

Bosso left the Borno Army on a mutual agreement after the expiration of his two years contract with the northern-based outfit.

"My contract with El Kanemi has ended and I want a new challenge. I have received new offers I couldn't turn down. I told the club’s chairman my intention to leave immediately after the end of the season and it was with a mutual agreement.

“I always carried the club along in anything I am doing. I have submitted my car key and the key to my house to the chairman and I also gave the club two copies of my report of what transpired at the just concluded season. But let it be on record that the club is still owing me 22 match bonuses," Bosso said to sportinglens.blogspot.com.

The former Flying Eagles coach, who joined the Maiduguri-based outfit in the 2014/15 season, said he is satisfied with his achievements with the club.

The club finished sixth on the log at the just concluded season, an improvement from their 8th position in his first season when he arrived from Abia Warriors to take over from late Kelechi Emeteole.

"I have built a team for the club which will make things easy for any coach that will take over the club. I joined the club when the team was still struggling in the league and I left a strong team with young players for them.

"My two seasons with El Kanemi was glorious. Even the State Governor appreciated my efforts with the club last weekend. They were battling relegation when I joined but in the last two seasons, they ended the season comfortably. Even, at a time this season we were contender for the league title. This is my first time I stayed with a club for more than a season in the league and it is time for me to move on.”
