“I am stepping aside. I wish the club the best of luck in the ongoing season.
Kumbi Titiloye said that since the club has accepted his resignation, there would be no need to allow for a vacuum, hence the engagement of Coach Dogo, who also just resigned as the handler of Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi.
