 "Plateau People are very passionate about the club and that is why we don't want you to fail during your time as a trophy at the end of the season or a continental ticket is always our ambition.

"The two previous coaches that left won the league title and yours should not be an exception. So I employ you to put your acts together and fashion out a winning template that will propel the team to victory,” Henwan said.
