Currently sit at number eight on the NPL table
Edema Fuludu, the Head Coach of Warri Wolves FC, has said that the club’s main task at the moment is to plot a return to continental football next season.
He stressed that the club intended to achieve its objective of playing continental football next season through an improved performance in the ongoing Nigeria Premier League (NPL).
“It is imperative that we have to work very hard to improve our position on the league table and ensure that we end up in the top three positions at the end of the season,” he said.
“We will have to bank on our experience to stage a comeback next season to play continental football. We have to bounce back to continental football next season; we will turn the negative issues that befell us this season to positives.”
He added that since their ouster from the CAF competition, the players had all set their minds and efforts to the task of leading the club to success in the NPL.
“The confederation cup was a distraction of sort to us; now that we are totally on ground we will do our best,” he said.
“We will sustain our current winning streak to propel our push to the top of the league table.
“To this effect, we had to sign on some new players to fortify the team, and so we are battle ready for the title.”
Fuludu, a member of the Super Eagles squad that won the 1994 edition of the AFCON in Tunisia, added that Warri Wolves did not owe its players, salary-wise.
“The club’s management ensured that players’ salaries and allowances have been paid up to date, in order to boost the morale of the players for better performance.”
Wolves are currently eighth on the NPL table with 36 points from the 24 matches played, and two outstanding matches to be played.
