Former Nigerian national team coach and current Abia Warriors head coach Imama Amapakabo has come out to lament about the state of that bad pitch at his new side in Abia State ahead of the new NPFL season. Amapakabo, in an interview with Brila FM, told fans that the only issue he will have with the club is playing on the bad turf and that happens to be his home ground.
”The challenge in all honesty that, everybody has posted to me is one thing, our playing turf, that’s why when I came around, I started working around the pitch to feel the turf and see how it is because, even the laws of the game, FIFA says, the pitch, we have to try to see how best we can to manage this turf.” he stated.
The former Eagles coach, however, said the team will find a way to manage the pitch once the League returns and try to take maximum advantage of what is available.
