Coach Sabo comes into the role with a wealth of experience, proven leadership, and an impressive record of success across Nigeria’s domestic football landscape.

His coaching journey includes a significant spell with El-Kanemi Warriors, where he served as Head Coach and was an integral member of the technical crew that played a crucial role in the club’s promotion from the Nigeria National League (NNL) to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) in 2012. He was also part of the technical setup that contributed to the club’s success in securing promotion and winning the Federation Cup in 2024.

Most recently, Coach Sabo served as Technical Adviser of DMD, where he once again demonstrated his capacity to deliver results by guiding the team to promotion from the Nationwide League One (NLO) to the Nigeria National League (NNL) in 2026.

His consistent record of achieving promotion and competing successfully at different levels of Nigerian football reflects his tactical knowledge, experience, determination, and ability to build a competitive team.

Gombe United FC believes that his wealth of experience and winning mentality will bring renewed impetus to the Club’s technical department as we pursue our ambitions and strive for greater success.
