The presentation was made by none other than the club’s owner, Jibrin Barau, who also serves as Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President.

Strong Coaching Backroom

Bosso will not be working alone. The club confirmed that he will be supported by:

• Rabi’u Tata – Chief Coach
• Madu Muhammad – Assistant Coach
• Surajo Mukhtar – Fitness Coach

With such a line-up, Barau FC clearly means business as they step onto the big stage.

NPFL Newcomers Ready for Action

The Kano-based side was promoted to the NPFL just last season, making this their maiden appearance in Nigeria’s top-flight football.

They have chosen the iconic Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano, as their home ground for the 2025/26 season.

Opening Day Challenge

Bosso’s first official test will be no small task — Barau FC is set to host nine-time NPFL champions, Enyimba, later this month in what promises to be a thrilling debut fixture.

Omo, first match against Enyimba? This one no be small baptism of fire o!

Bosso’s Mission

Known for his experience and tactical discipline, Bosso’s appointment signals Barau FC’s ambition not just to participate in the NPFL, but to compete strongly.

Fans in Kano are already buzzing, eager to see how the new boss will shape the team’s maiden campaign.

The trio missed out on Thursday’s 1-0 preseason defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, raising fresh concerns ahead of their league opener.

Omo, Arsenal fans don dey panic small o — but Arteta’s words have brought some calm to the chaos.

After the match, Arteta was asked directly whether the three defenders would be fit in time for their opening league game against Manchester United on August 17.

“I don’t think so. But if they evolve like they’ve been doing in the last few days, then yes — Gabriel, Calafiori and Timber should all be available,” he said confidently.

Let’s not forget — Timber and Gabriel have not featured in any of Arsenal’s tour games in Asia due to lingering injuries from last season.

If this recovery trend continues, we might just see a fully loaded Arsenal defence ready to face the Red Devils.

While European clubs are gearing up for high-stakes returns, Nigerian football is also making major moves.

Kun Khalifat FC, newly promoted to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), has announced former Super Eagles defender Mobi Oparaku as their new technical director.

Omo! Who saw that coming?

The Owerri-based club revealed that Oparaku’s appointment is part of their mission to hit the ground running in their debut NPFL season.

Kun Khalifat FC’s first major test will be an opening day clash against Enugu Rangers, kicking off the 2025–26 NPFL season on August 22.
