Baraje threatens to quit as Akwa United coach


Coach of Akwa United, Zakary Baraje has said he will leave the club, if they fail to sign new players before next season.

Baraje led the club to their first domestic title on Sunday, after they beat Lobi Stars 2-1 to win the Federation Cup. They will also be competing in the CAF Confederation Cup next year.

The Uyo team have earned a reputation as a selling club, with the likes of Mfon Udoh and Ezekiel Bassey leaving for bigger clubs in recent times. But Baraje is keen for his squad to be strengthened.

“I won’t stay if they won’t buy players and keep the ones they have,” he said after the historic cup win.

Baraje also spoke about his pride at making history with Akwa United.

“For the past 56 years, no team from Cross River or Akwa Ibom has made this history, so I’m elated to have written this history for them,” he said.
