The management of Plateau United FC of Jos has consoled with Plateau State Coaches Association over the death of its Chairman, Coach Jimmy Ndoma.
Ndoma died on Thursday after a protracted illness.
The club in a statement by its Media officer, Albert Dakup, said the demise of Coach Ndoma was a shock in view of the fact that he had just recovered from a protracted illness.
Dakup stated that Ndoma, who contributed immensely to the discovery of budding talents who represented the state and the country in many competitions, was a great loss to the sporting world.
He added that Ndoma’s memories as former head coach of the defunct Jos University Teaching Hospital FC would always be remembered, stressing that the late coach contributed greatly to the development of football in the state and beyond.
He urged his colleagues and friends to emulate him.
He said: “Coach Jimmy Ndoma was actively involved in the organisation of coaching clinics for coaches at the grassroots with a view to keeping them abreast with latest trends.”
The coach survived by a wife and children.
