Kano Pillars FC have suspended their Technical Adviser, Usman Sheriff Abdallah, for three weeks following the team’s poor results and his conduct towards fans after their goalless draw against Bayelsa United on NPFL Matchday 22.
Under the leadership of Chairman Alhaji Ali Muhammad Umar, the club made the decision as Sai Masu Gida continue to struggle for consistency, managing just one win in their last three matches.
The management and supporters have grown increasingly concerned over the team’s dip in form.
Abdallah had in August 2024 signed a two-year contract with an option for a third with Kano pillars.
