SUPER Eagles forward Ahmed Musa has formally commenced his work as the General Manager of Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) club Kano Pillars, vowing to bring back the glory days.
Musa, whose appointment was announced last week, resumed officially yesterday and promised to reposition the club and restore its pride of place as one of the finest football institutions in Africa.
During a familiarisation meeting with the club chairman, Alhaji Ali Muhammad Umar, and members of the board, Musa expressed his deep commitment to transforming the club and building on its rich legacy.
According to the Media and Communications Department of Kano Pillars, the former Leicester City and CSKA Moscow star reiterated that now is the time to work diligently to globalise the four-time Nigerian champions.
Musa emphasised his readiness to collaborate with all stakeholders, both within and outside the country, to achieve this ambitious vision.
Drawing from his extensive experience playing in Europe and his deep understanding of the domestic football landscape, the Super Eagles captain believes these unique insights will serve as powerful tools in driving the club to greater heights.
“Kano Pillars is our club and one of the most successful in Nigeria, but in recent years, the story has changed,” Musa said.
“I want to assure everyone here that, with your support and the backing of the board members, I will do everything possible to reposition the club and make it one of the finest not only in Africa but globally.
“Having played here and with the experience I gained in Europe, I believe I can contribute meaningfully to help the club achieve its full potential.”
Musa, 32, noted that the club’s success would require unity of purpose, strategic planning and unwavering dedication from everyone involved; management, players, supporters and partners alike.
Musa returned to the NPFL to feature for Kano Pillars last season, posting some impressive performances as they finished ninth in the table.
