Abia Warriors have named Emmanuel Deutsch as their new head coach; replacing Henry Makinwa who resigned on Thursday.
Deutsch is making a comeback to the same team he left at the end of last season at the expiration of his contract despite leading them to Premier League safety.
His then assistant, Moses Adenrele was asked to replace the Cameroonian coach but Adenrele himself left his post just before the start of the season after the Abia Warriors management decided to name Makinwa as his boss.
