His coaching résumé includes stints at top NPFL sides like Kano Pillars, Wikki Tourists, Abia Warriors, and El-Kanemi Warriors, making him one of the most recognisable figures on the domestic scene.
In a tactical move aimed at ensuring stability and continuity, Bosso will work closely with Chief Coach Rabiu Tata, who played a key role in guiding Barau FC to topflight promotion.
Speaking on the new arrangement, Tata said:
“Coach Ladan Bosso is my boss. We’re already settled here in Kano and have aligned our plans to prepare strongly for the upcoming season. Our focus is to achieve the club’s target and make a strong impression in the NPFL.”
Pre-season training is set to resume soon as the modest Kano-based outfit steps up preparations for what promises to be a landmark season.
