Coach Gbenga Ogunbote, who has been widely tipped to take over Enyimba, has so far shunned an interview for the top post at Kano Pillars.
Kadiri Ikhana and Samson Unanuel have so far been grilled for the Pillars post with Ogunbote penciled as the third coach to be interviewed.
“Ogunbote has yet to show up and the Pillars board plan to name a new coach this week as they promised,” a club source informed.
“He has a big chance to land the job, but he has not shown interest.”
Ogunbote comes highly recommended and he is seen as one coach who could truly change the fortunes of an ageing Pillars by infusing young and committed players to the club.
He made his mark at Sunshine Stars and has also posted stints at Sharks, Giwa FC and Shooting Stars.
However, the no-nonsence tactician is believed to be the man to take over from Paul Aigbogun at Enyimba and that may well explain why he has not bothered to pursue the Pillars interest.
He was also considered for the top post at Akwa United before Abdu Maikaba was given the job.
