Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions, Enugu Rangers have sacked their head coach, Imama Amapakabo.

Mr Amapakabo confirmed to Channels Television that his contract was terminated on Monday by his employers.

The coach signed a two-year contract with the Flying Antelopes last season, but only saw out just over a year of the deal.

His assistant, Chukwuma Agbo will take charge of the team in an interim capacity until a new head coach is appointed.

The sacking has left Amapakabo with ample time to concentrate on his duties as one of the assistant coaches for the Super Eagles.
