Deutsch returns as Abia Warriors coach

Emmanuel Deutsch has resigned as the head coach of Delta Force to replace Henry Makinwa as the new head coach of Abia Warriors.

The Cameroonian returns to the Umuahia-based club where he spent the whole of last season, in a bid to keep them in the top flight as they are in a relegation battle.

The inconsistency of Henry Makinwa’s team and a recent home loss to Delta Force made the management of the club to recall Emmanuel Deutsch.

Abia Warriors are in the 11th position in the NPFL Group B – with 18 points from 16 games and they will face Gombe United in a relegation zone battle at Pantami Stadium on May 5.

Since gaining promotion to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) in 2013, Abia Warriors have not been relegated from the topflight.
