Niger Tornadoes reappoints Bernard Ogbe as coach after 18 years

Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Niger Tornadoes, has appointed Bernard Ogbe as their new head coach.

The Minna-based club had fired Erasmus Onu and replaced him with Hamza Abara who was placed in acting capacity.

Ahead of the start of 2018/19 season, however, the Power club has now settled for Ogbe – who managed the club 18 years ago.

Ogbe was in Minna last week to finalise his contract with the management committee where he met the club management including the chairman Mallam Abubakar Mustapha Gawu to finalise his contract terms.

In 1998/ 99 season, he guided the club to third place in the FA cup now rebranded Aiteo cup and in the following year, he brought the Aiteo cup to Minna.
