Abia Warriors defender Abiodun Adebayo says he will gladly work with new coach Henry Makinwa.
Makinwa started life at the club with a 2-0 win over Rivers United in a friendly on Thursday afternoon.
The former ABS FC trainer has promised to change the philosophy of the side and the dependable central defender who had a fabulous 2017/18 season has welcomed the change.
“We as players must respect the decision to appoint a coach and I’m very happy for him (Henry Makinwa),” Abiodun Adebayo told Sports247.ng.
“He’s a fine coach and I believe he will succeed at the club. I know of his abilities and I’m just happy to work under him.
“The ultimate aim for us is to perform very well and make our fans proud and I believe the new coach will inspire us to achieve that.
Abia Warriors will be on the road to Nasarawa United in the matchday 1 of the 2018/19 NPFL campaign.
