Nasarawa United head coach/technical adviser, Mbwas Mangut, has said his team are ready for the final five matchweeks of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.
Mangut’s men are currently placed fifth on the table with 50 points, five behind leaders Rangers and will head to the Northeast to face El-Kanemi Warriors this Sunday.
In a meeting with the club’s management following a shock 0-1 defeat last weekend to bottom-placed Kun Khalifat FC, Mangut assured that they are focused on either a continental place or the title race.
”As we enter the final five games of the season, I wish to assure you that we have summoned the resilience that has defined our club’s storied history.
”The time for reckoning is upon us; we will rise to the occasion and ensure that the remaining part of our campaign concludes on a note of dignity and competitiveness.
”Let me assure our dedicated and loyal supporters and fans across the globe that we are working tirelessly behind the scenes to address the issues that have led to our recent predicament.
”No doubt, your support remains our greatest strength, and we ask that you continue to stand by us as we navigate these challenging times.
”From our general resolve, we are regrouping, reassessing and recommitting ourselves to the pursuit of a continental ticket, and possibly lay our hands on the NPFL trophy,” he said.
Mangut further assured that they have put the home defeat to Kun Khalifat FC behind and “have resolved to rise and fight” till the end of the season.
”How we end the season shouldn’t be defined by a single result because we have resolved to rise and fight, and emerge stronger from the ashes of previous defeats,” he said.
