The technical Adviser of El-Kanemi football club of Maiduguri, Coach Imama of Amapakabo has paid the price of keeping two jobs as the management of the club has giving him the booth for not having enough time for the club because of his engagement with the Super Eagles.
The club is not always at home with the idea of the coach not having enough time for their team, in addition to the general feeling in the team that the coach is not leaving in Maiduguri.
