But they have struggled to make an impact on their return, as they currently sit bottom of the table with 11 points from 12 games.

The new technical adviser, Bala is a former Niger Tornadoes boss; he guided the team to the final of the Aiteo Cup last year before being replaced at the start of this season.

Bala, whose immediate task would be to improve the fortunes of his new team, will be unveiled on Wednesday at the conference room of the indoor sports hall of the Kwara Sports Complex.
