Gombe United Reveals Ambition to Win a Reason for Signing CHAN Goalie
Gombe United have stated that signing Chigozie Agbim shows their ambitions for the new season.
Agbim, who was Nigeria’s first choice goalkeeper at the African Nations Championship (CHAN), recently signed a one-year-deal with Gombe. And the club’s chairman, Farouk Yarma, believes the player can help propel the team towards their objectives for the coming campaign.
Yarma revealed that Gombe’s main goal is to secure a continental ticket, adding that their decision to sign Agbim was at the request of coach Maurice Cooreman.
“We retained the service of our chief coach because he did us proud last season after we finished on the seventh position in the Nigeria Professional Football League table,” Yarma said.
“So we have no reason to sack him, instead, we told him that he must give us a technical report for him to continue. He sent the report to the management of the club and they forwarded it to my office. I saw the recommendation where he stated that he needs certain players to play in some crucial positions.
“These positions include the cental defence and the goalkeeping, that is why we signed Chigozie Agbim.”
