Bayelsa United have named Abdu Maikaba as their new head coach, the club confirmed. The experienced tactician will balance the appointment with his current role as head coach of Nigeria's Flying Eagles.
The Prosperity Boys dropped out of the Nigeria Premier Football League last season. Maikaba now faces the task of leading them straight back to the top flight.
The veteran coach has managed several elite NPFL sides during his career. His previous clubs include Akwa United, Rangers, Kano Pillars, and Wikki Tourists, where he was in charge last season.
Maikaba brings considerable pedigree to the assignment. His track record suggests he possesses the quality needed to restore Bayelsa United to the premier division.
