Kano Pillars Appoints Daniel Ogunmodede as Technical Adviser

Kano Pillars announced the appointment of Daniel Ogunmodede as their new Technical Adviser ahead of the 2026-2027 football season. This decision follows speculation regarding the restructuring of the club's management, part of a broader effort by the Kano State government, led by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, to revitalize sports in the state.

Ogunmodede, known for his impressive tactical mind, previously transformed Remo Stars into a competitive team, earning respect for his disciplined attacking philosophy and ability to develop young talent. His appointment is seen as a significant step towards restoring Kano Pillars' status as a dominant force in Nigerian football, especially as the club has struggled to maintain consistency in recent seasons.

Ogunmodede is expected to oversee a rebuilding process that includes strengthening the squad and improving tactical organization, with a focus on youth development. The club's management anticipates that his experience will enhance their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
