Nasarawa United have officially parted ways with Technical Director Kabir Dogo following a mutual agreement, the club announced in a statement on Sunday.
The decision comes after a disappointing run in the 2024/25 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, with results falling short of expectations.

“We want to specially thank Coach Kabir Dogo, who has taken our club and members as a family, for his commitment and hard work during his time with us. Unfortunately, results have not gone in our favour, and we feel it is in the best interest of the club to move forward with a new direction,” the club stated.
Salisu Yusuf takes charge
To turn their season around, Nasarawa United have appointed former Super Eagles Chief Coach Salisu Yusuf as Dogo’s replacement.
The Kaduna-born tactician, who holds a CAF ‘A’ coaching licence, boasts an impressive resume, having worked extensively with club and national teams in Nigeria.
“Due to the precarious situation of the club, we have decided to appoint former Chief Coach of the Super Eagles, Salisu Yusuf, as the new replacement for the departing Coach Kabir Dogo to take charge of the team immediately,” the statement continued.
