SPORTS:Kano Pillars sacks coach Okey Emordi

The Head coach of Kano Pillar football club has been sacked by the club's management. A statement made available by the club's spokesman Idris Malikawa today, says the newly constituted Pillars Football board headed by Kabiru Baita approved Emordi’s dismissal.

Mr Emordi was dropped following what the club described as a "string of poor results" under him. Only recently, he led his team mates to a 3-3 draw against Lobi Stars in Makurdi. Pillars are ninth on the table with 27 points, nine points behind leaders Sunshine Stars and Enyimba.
