Pillars have learnt lessons —Rabiu Ali

Despite their disappointing season, Kano Pillars midfielder, Rabiu Ali, is confident that his team can deliver a silverware come next season.

Ali optimistic that Kano Pillars can do a clean sweep of available trophies next season.

The four-time Nigerian champions had a disappointing season in 2016 but the midfielder believes the Masu Gida have the capacity to lift the two trophies available next season.

“Last season is gone and we learnt a whole lot. Though I won’t admit that 2016 was a disappointing season for us because we did compete well but we lost concentration at the crucial stage of the season where we needed to pull through,” Ali told Goal.

“However, lessons have been learnt and antidote has been offered.

“An experienced coach in Kadiri Ikhana is in charge and a couple of signings have been done. The team is looking good and pre-season activities is going in fine.”

Kano Pillars finished seventh on the NPFL 2015/16 season table.
