Head coach of Wikki Tourists, Mohammed Babaganaru, has insisted he is not under pressure to outdo his predecessor, Abdu Maikaba.
Maikaba led the Bauchi club to a top-four finish in two seasons, but has now left for Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) rival, Akwa United.
Wikki beat FC IfeanyiUbah 3-1 in a Match Day 5 fixture, which saw them jump from 18th to 8th place on the table. But Babaganaru insists they can only improve, after a slow start to the new season.
“It is important for us to continue to work hard and get results. But I don’t think it is proper to insinuate that I’m under pressure to replicate or surpass my predecessor’s achievement here,” he told npfl.ng
“No doubt they did well last season to earn the club a continental ticket by finishing in third place. We can only work hard for improvement, not an obsession to match or surpass my predecessor’s achievement. I’ve won the league title elsewhere, at Kano Pillars to be precise. So chasing a third best record shouldn’t be the yardstick.”
