Top officials of Enugu Rangers have insisted coach Imama Amapakabo will get more than the one million Naira-a-month he received this past season so as to lead Rangers in next year’s CAF Champions League.
Imama’s contract ended on the day he led Rangers to win the Nigeria league after their last triumph in 1984.
He and his players took massive pay cuts before they could rewrite history.
The former goalkeeper has already been linked with South African club Chippa United, Enyimba and Kano Pillars.
However, Enugu State sports commissioner Charles Ndukwe insisted there is no coaching vacancy in Rangers as they are willing to better whatever offer Imama will receive.
“There is no vacancy in Rangers. Imama is not going anywhere,” declared a confident Ndukwe.
“And whatever any club is offering him, we will better it.
“He is already planning to bring down his family to Enugu from Port Harcourt.”
Rangers general manager Paul Chibuzor also maintained Imama will still be the coach of the newly crowned Nigeria champions.
