Nigeria Premier Football League newcomers Ranchers Bees have confirmed the appointment of veteran tactician Usman Abdallah as their new head coach on a two-year contract, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The experienced coach joins the Kaduna-based club following his departure from former NPFL champions Remo Stars, bringing with him a wealth of managerial experience at the highest level of Nigerian football.
Abdallah has previously handled several top-flight clubs and is widely regarded as one of the most experienced coaches in the domestic game.
His appointment is viewed as a major statement of intent by Ranchers Bees as they prepare for their return to the Nigeria Premier Football League ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The club's management believes Abdallah's experience, tactical knowledge and understanding of the NPFL will be crucial as the team seeks to establish itself among the country's elite clubs.
For Abdallah, the move represents a fresh challenge and an opportunity to lead one of Nigeria's historic football clubs back to prominence.
With the appointment now confirmed, Ranchers Bees are expected to step up their pre-season activities as preparations gather momentum for the new campaign.
