Former Rangers International manager, Okey Emordi, has penned one-year deal with Abia Warriors ahead of the 2016/17 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
The former C.O.D United Football Club of Lagos handler joined the Umuahia-based club to help the team secure a continental ticket for next season.
A source told Tribunesport that the team has also secured the services of Sunshine Stars top striker in the last NPFL season, Dele Olorundare and Dayo Ojo, also of Sunshine Stars, while they are in talks with Mountain of Fire Ministries (MFM) central defender, Kehinde Anifowoshe.
Meanwhile, Patrick Ngwaogu has also been engaged as the club’s match reader/assistant coach for the new season.
Ngwaogu, who is a graduate of University of Ibadan, has a coaching certificate from the National Institute for Sports and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
He was among the Nigerian coaches that went to London in 2015 for capacity building in match reading and analysis.
Emordi, who won the CAF Champions League with Enyimba, is one of the most experienced coaches in the country having worked with Kano Pillars, Rangers of Enugu and Enyimba FC.
Abia Warriors finished 14th on the log of the just concluded NPFL with 48 points from 36 games.
