Niger Tornadoes have sacked their technical adviser Erasmus Onu and replaced him with chief coach Hamza Abara,.Abara will be in charge of the Minna club pending the appointment of a new technical adviser.

Veteran coach Onu, according to a statement on the club’s official Twitter handle, was sacked following the team’s poor performance so far  in the Nigeria Professional Football League this season.His last game in charge of the club was Sunday’s 2-0 away loss to Rivers United.

Onu who has handled the likes of Kwara United and Heartland is the first coaching casualty in the NPFL this season.He took over the post few weeks to the start of the season after the club’s former technical adviser Abubakar Bala was relieved of his job.

Tornadoes occupy the last position in the table and will face Abia Warriors in an NPFL match day 10 fixture on Sunday
