Plateau United, a prominent Nigerian Premier League club, has announced the appointment of Magnus Mangut as their new head coach during this transfer window.
The official statement was made public through the club’s Twitter account, where they shared the exciting news with their followers.
Mangut has inked a two-year contract with Plateau United, which also includes an option for an additional year, providing both parties with flexibility and room for long-term collaboration.
He steps into the role previously held by Fidelis Ilechukwu, whose contract had expired at the Plateau State-based club.
Interestingly, the appointment of the new gaffer was not without some speculation. Kennedy Boboye was initially considered a strong contender for the position. However, the club ultimately revealed Mangut as their choice for the coveted coaching role.
The club’s Twitter post read, “Coach Mbwas Mangut has officially put pen to paper. He is now the leading figure behind the scenes for Plateau United.” This announcement signifies the official commencement of Mangut’s tenure with the team, and both the fans and the football fraternity eagerly await the impact he will bring to the club.
During the previous season, Plateau United performed commendably, securing a respectable fifth place in the NPFL Group A table. Accumulating 23 points from 18 games, the team exhibited a promising level of skill and determination.
With the arrival of Magnus Mangut, Plateau United aims to build upon their recent success and elevate their performance to new heights. As the new “sweat merchant” of the club, Mangut assumes the responsibility of guiding and leading the team towards future victories and achievements in the Nigerian Premier League.
