Adamu who kicks off his first match as the head coach of the Giant Elephants, admits they didn't start well, but hopes they will start well in the second phase.
"We started the league on a bad note but were able to finish the first round favourably and we still hope to start the second stanza on a good note,” Abdullahi told the club’s media.
“We are ready, the boys are ready, we only pray for good luck.”
