Former Super Eagles’ winger, Tijani Babangida, has been given a fresh two-year mandate to lead FC Taraba ahead of the 2013/2014 Premier League season.
Taraba state acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, endorsed the new contract after the earlier agreement entered into by the ex-international expired last season when he led the team to secure Glo-Premier League slot.
A delighted Babangida, who expressed gratitude to the acting Governor Alhaji Garba Umar, for the confidence reposed on him to continue with his work, promised not to disappoint the governor and the good people of the state in making sure the team post impressive performance in the Glo-Nigeria Premier League.
Meanwhile, the Jalingo-based team have been putting finishing touches to their preparation as they gear up the new season. They recently played a friendly match with Gombe United and were forced to a goalless draw. They have also played several other friendly matches with local clubs sides in the state.
In one of the first matches of the season, FC Taraba will welcome Nasarawa United in Jalingo.
