Enugu Rangers coach, Imama Amapakabo, has agreed a new, improved two-year contract with the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions.
The 43-year-old tactician’s N1million-a-month deal, expired on the day he led the Flying Antelopes, to their first Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) title in 32 years.
It is understood that Amapakabo and his players took pay cuts, in their bid to end a long wait for the title.
Rangers have now moved to reward him, especially with speculations linking him with South African club, Chippa United and two NPFL teams, Enyimba and Kano Pillars.
“He has renewed his contract with Rangers by the grace of God,” acting Rangers chairman, Steve Oruruo, confirmed.
It is understood that Rangers, have offered Amapakabo a deal that rivals what most NPFL managers earn.
The agreement was reached after a meeting the coach had with Enugu State Sports Commissioner, Charles Ndukwe and Oruruo.
