Head Coach Katsina United Football Club, Henry Makinwa, is among the new breed Nigerian coaches having carved a niche for himself as a coach and as a player, he does not need much introduction as far as football is concern in the country, he is an expert in the field who knows his onus.
The merchant tactician who is a UEFA Pro License holder represented 17 clubs in 11 countries during his professional career.
The vastly exposed Obafemi Awolowo University lle-lfe graduate started his coaching career in Nigeria with Abubakar Bukola Saraki Football Club of Ilorin, in 2016 and used his tactical masterpiece to promote the side to Nigeria Professional Football League after just a season in Nigeria National League.
Known in Portugal as 'Maki', the ex-international later moved to Abia Warriors and later joined Katsina United at the beginning of last season.
Makinwa, under a year as Head Coach of Katsina United led the team to their first ever away win in the NPFL and four away draws. They ended the season 7th on the log, which is their best ever.
He used his outstanding coaching skills to nurture Atule Joseph (unknown NLO player) to a regular starter, indigenous player Dan Suleman worked on and became very useful for the team, with 2 goals, 1 assist in four games.
Another Katsina born player, Danja, could be undisputed player next season due to his spectacular performances against Sunshine Stars, before the 2019/2020 Nigeria Professional Football League NPFL season was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic ravaging the world.
The performance of the team superb playing last season is the typical spanish passing game, by sapanish trained coach.
Katsina United metamorphosed into a mature team that might clinch continental ticket in the 20-21 NPFL season.
