Bashir Saleh has been appointed as the new technical adviser of Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, side Wikki Tourists.

Saleh steps in after the resignation of veteran tactician Abdullahi Maikaba on Monday.

The new coach will serve on an interim basis pending further directives by the club.

Saleh is expected to resume duty with immediate effect.

He previously served as Chief Coach of Wikki Tourists under Coach Garba Ibrahim and also worked with coach Aliyu Zubairu at Gombe United.

Saleh will lead the team in their matchday 26 encounter against Rangers in Enugu this weekend.
