Stephen Ukandu, Umuahia
Former Super Eagles goaltender, Ike Shorunmu, has joined the Technical crew of Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia as the new Goalkeepers coach.
The Ogun State-born shot stopper was unveiled earlier today at the club’s Secretariat in Umuahia by the Chairman of Abia Warriors, Coach John Obuh, in a brief but impressive ceremony witnessed by members of the Management.
Speaking, Coach Obuh said he decided to go for Shorunmu because of his vast experience and antecedents hoping that his addition will be a big influence.
On his own, Shorunmu said he settled for Abia Warriors based on personal conviction and expressed confidence that the team will achieve greater success this season.
A statement by a member of the Abia Warriors Media Team, Mr Igwe Onuoha, described the development as very exciting.
Ikengaonline had reported that Gov. Alex Otti, in his bid to revive soccer in the state, appointed ex-Super Eagles striker, Kanu Nwankwo as the Chairman of Enyimba Football Club International, while Obuh was appointed to handle Abia Warriors.
