In a momentous announcement, the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club Gombe United FC has officially unveiled Mohammed Babaganaru as their new head coach for the upcoming 2023 season.
This revelation follows a period of anticipation and speculation after the departure of former coach Aliyu Zubair.
Babaganaru, boasting a wealth of experience, steps into the role with a mission to elevate Gombe United’s performance. The club narrowly escaped relegation in the previous 2022/2023 season, making the appointment of a seasoned coach all the more crucial.
Previously at the helm of prominent NPFL clubs like Kano Pillars, Wikki Tourists, Nasarawa United, and Lobi Stars FC, Babaganaru brings a distinguished track record to Gombe United. Notably, he guided Lobi Stars FC to the NPFL Super Six playoff in the previous season, showcasing his prowess as a tactician.
This managerial shift was necessitated by Aliyu Zubair’s departure, who has since embarked on a new chapter with El Kanemi Warriors FC, leaving a void that Babaganaru is eager to fill.
The 2023 season promises to be an exciting one for Gombe United FC, and their journey begins with a challenging fixture against Sporting Lagos FC. With Babaganaru at the helm, Gombe United fans are hopeful that their beloved club will rise to new heights in the NPFL.
