As Plateau United FC gears up for the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, Technical Adviser Mbwas Mangut has openly acknowledged that his team is not yet fully prepared. Despite securing a 2-0 victory over NNL side Barau FC in their opening match of the Gusau/Ahlan Preseason Football Tournament in Jos, Mangut candidly admitted that significant work remains to be done.
In a statement to journalists following the match, Mangut outlined the challenges that have impacted his team's preparation. "My team has suffered numerous setbacks during our preparations," Mangut said. "National protests have caused delays and interruptions, which in turn have postponed and disrupted our training sessions and overall build-up."
The coach's admission underscores the reality that delays in preparation can have far-reaching implications. These disruptions not only affect player performance but can also influence team morale and cohesion. Mangut's recognition of these issues highlights the importance of a well-structured and uninterrupted pre-season to achieve optimal performance levels.
Last season, Plateau United finished 5th in the NPFL with an impressive tally of 53 goals. While the team's performance was commendable, Mangut is determined to improve on this outcome in the upcoming season. His goal is to refine the team's fitness and coordination to ensure they are fully prepared for the challenges that lie ahead.
As Plateau United continues their preparations, the focus will be on addressing the gaps identified by Mangut and building a more robust team capable of competing at the highest level in the NPFL. The road to success is often paved with challenges, and Mangut’s proactive approach in acknowledging and addressing these issues is a crucial step towards achieving better results in the new season.
