Controversy Surrounding Umar’s Departure from Akwa United
Before his appointment at Gombe United, Umar served as the Assistant Coach at Akwa United. However, controversy arose when Kennedy Boboye, who joined Akwa United as Technical Adviser towards the end of the first stanza, requested that Umar be relieved of his duties.

In his first statement as Gombe United’s new Technical Adviser, Umar expressed his excitement about joining the club and praised its unique culture. He emphasized his belief in finding solutions rather than making excuses and committed to building a team that prioritizes results.
Umar made it clear that success will always come from collective effort, and the team’s goals will always come before individual ambitions.
Umar’s experience in Nigerian football includes his time with Akwa United, where he played a significant role in helping the team avoid relegation during the 2023-2024 season.
