Remo Stars appoint Usman Abdallah as new technical advisor amid relegation battle

Reigning Nigeria Premier Football League champions Remo Stars F.C. have officially appointed Usman Abdallah as their new Technical Adviser in a decisive move to revive their troubled season.

The club confirmed the development in a statement released on Thursday afternoon, expressing confidence that the experienced tactician can steer the team back on course.

“We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Usman Abd’Allah as the new Technical Adviser of the club,” the statement read.

After lifting the NPFL title last term, expectations were high for Remo Stars heading into the current campaign. However, the Sky Blue Stars have struggled for consistency and results, finding themselves deep in relegation trouble.

With 27 points from 27 matches, the Ikenne-based side currently sit 19th on the league table — a dramatic fall for the defending champions. Poor form, defensive lapses, and a lack of cutting edge in key moments have all contributed to a season that has fallen well below expectations.

The appointment of Abdallah signals the club’s intent to halt the slide and stabilise their campaign before it is too late.

Abdallah arrives with a reputation for discipline, tactical structure, and experience within the domestic game. His immediate task will be to restore confidence in a squad that has struggled to replicate last season’s cohesion and intensity.

Interestingly, his first assignment will see him come up against his former side, Katsina United F.C., in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter this weekend. The fixture adds extra intrigue, as Abdallah faces familiar opponents while attempting to spark a turnaround for his new employers.

For Remo Stars, the priority is clear — climb out of the relegation zone and steady a campaign that has veered off track. With only a handful of matches remaining, every point will be crucial.

The club’s hierarchy will be hoping that Abdallah’s leadership, tactical adjustments, and motivational touch can reignite the team’s fighting spirit and preserve their top-flight status.

As the season enters its decisive phase, all eyes will now be on Abdallah to see whether he can engineer a dramatic revival and restore pride to the NPFL champions.
