Ali Nayara, Chairman of the Kano Pillars Management Committee, has exclusively told Completesports.com that the club is in serious search for a successor to Coach Usman Abdallah, and a decision is likely to be made within a matter of days.
“We’re looking for a new coach. But that will be sorted out in a few days’ time,” Nayara said to Completesports.com.
Kano Pillars’ head coach, Usman Abdallah, stepped down from his role in May, leaving the Sai Masu Gida side in search of a new gaffer just two months before the start of the 2025/2026 NPFL season, which kicks off on 22 August, 2025.

“Yes, we’re looking for a new coach. Or do you have any coach to suggest for us? We’re addressing the issue and, in a few days’ time, we will make our decision public,” Nayara added.
Kano Pillars finished 9th with 53 points in the concluded 2024/2025 campaign.
Abdallah stepped down at the conclusion of the season. He had earlier been suspended following an alleged altercation with the supporters’ club of the four-time Nigeria Premier Football League champions.
