A well-placed source privy to the negotiations told PREMIUM TIMES that Dogo, who touched down in the city on Friday, will complete the formalities this morning when he signs his contract alongside the club’s leadership.

Dogo, PREMIUM TIMES confirmed, will be offered a two-year contract and will be allowed to come with one Assistant Coach.

Last season, the “Mighty Warriors” scraped clear of the drop zone by a single point, prompting the board to restructure the technical department even before securing their marquee appointment.
