    Coach Bosso joins Bayelsa United

    BOSSO Coach Ladan Bosso has teamed up with newly promoted Bayelsa United after he quit Wikki Tourists.

    Bayelsa United spokesman George Aneli confirmed the appointment of former Nigeria Under-20 handler Bosso ahead of former Shooting Stars coach Godfrey Esu. He has been promised at least half of his contract fees before the league kicks off. NPL champions three years ago, Bayelsa have returned to the Nigerian top flight. Bosso was linked with a move to Sunshine Stars, but he was sensationally edged out by ex-Nigeria Under-20 assistant coach Samuel Abimbola. He was also linked to a top Kenyan club as well as ambitious Nigeria National League outfit Kogi United.

    Bosso set for Sunshine Stars job

    SUPERSPORT.COM understands Wikki Tourists manager, Ladan Bosso, is set to be named the new manager of Premier League side, Sunshine Stars.

    The former Flying Eagles, Niger Tornadoes and Kano Pillars gaffer has since emerged as leading candidate to succeed Gbenga Ogunbote, who took the club to an all-time high in the CAF Champions League after a three-year stint.

    Ogunbote resigned following the club’s exit in the semi-final of Africa’s most prestigious club competition and the club have been in search of a manager with African experience.

    Supersport.com learnt that talks with the Niger State born manager, who led Nigeria’s U-20 team to the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, in Canada, would hold on Monday and a deal is expected to be sealed between both parties.

    Bosso’s Champions League experience in 2011 with Kano Pillars gives him the edge as the club’s hierarchy is hungry for another African experience.

    The presence of players like Brown Ideye, Ambrose Efe, Reuben Gabriel, Obiorah Nwankwo and Elderson Echiejile he managed at the U-20 team in Stephen Keshi’s Super Eagles also confirms Bosso’s rating as a top class manager.

    If a deal is sealed, it will be Bosso’s first time as manager of a top flight team in the south after working as an assistant to Godwin Uwua at Bendel Insurance.
